biobanking regulations

Biobanking regulations are rules that govern how biological samples (like blood, tissue, or DNA) are collected, stored, and used for research. These rules protect individuals’ privacy by ensuring their personal information is kept confidential and that samples are used ethically. They also require informed consent, meaning donors understand how their samples will be used. Regulations set standards for sample security, data sharing, and oversight to prevent misuse. Overall, they aim to advance scientific research responsibly while respecting individuals’ rights and maintaining public trust.
