We were happy to meet more than 70 participants from twenty different countries. More than 40 contributions were submitted for publication in the present BIOMATH proceedings. All papers have been peer-reviewed by at least two independent anonymous reviewers and are going to be published in two consecutive issues of this journal. This first issue contains 12 selected contributions. A special session of BIOMATH 2012 was dedicated to Blagovest Sendov on the occasion of his 80th birthday. He is one of the pioneers of biomathematics in Bulgaria. We are grateful to the support provided by several academic units and universities and to all members of the Program and Organizing Committees for their active help in the organization of the BIOMATH 2012 International Conference. We thank also all participants for their contribution to the success of this Conference. We are especially grateful to all reviewers for their time and efforts.
