  • Title: [Biobanks and use of samples of human origin for surgical research. Current regulatory framework].
    Author: Martín Arribas MC, Arias Díaz J.
    Journal: Cir Esp; 2011 Apr; 89(4):207-12. PubMed ID: 21256478.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of biological samples and biobanks that make it easier for investigators to have access to quality samples and their associated clinical and epidemiological data. Thus, biobanks have become indispensible technological platforms for the development of both basic and clinical research. The properties of the biological sample as a support medium of personal and family information require that they are treated in accordance with new ethical standards. For this reason, the Law on Biomedical Research, provides a new regulatory framework in the process of obtaining samples and their storage for research purposes, where the consent of the source subject, data protection, the favourable opinion of a Research Ethics Committee, the prior taking out of an insurance policy against possible adverse effects, and the quality and safety requirements in the handling and management of these materials are key elements.
