A Foreword from the Editor
Welcome to the year of 2016!
Since last July when the first issue of International Journal of Bioprinting (IJB) was successfully launched, five new international editorial board members have joined us, including Dr. Aleksandr Ovsiankikov (Vienna University of Technology, Austria), Dr. Gi-ovanni Vozzi (University of Pisa, Italy), Dr. Boris N. Chickkov (Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V., Germany), Dr. Peter Dubruel (Universiteit Gent, Belgium) and Dr. Ali Khademhosseini (Harvard Medical School, USA).
