Proposals for Extending the Russian Biobanks Functions to Protect Genomic Information

Genomic research are currently of key importance in the development of medicine. In order to carry out such activities, it is necessary not only to generate new genetic objects, but also to accumulate samples in the form of various biomaterials. Such collections in recent years are the pride of large biobanks, which spend the maximum amount of effort to save samples for subsequent research or application in practice. However, the functioning of biobanks has another side of the coin: the accumulation of certain information entails an increased level of responsibility for the collected data. In modern Russian conditions, the issues of information leakage from such institutions taking place in foreign countries are still irrelevant. In many ways, the reason for this is only the beginning of the normative legal regulation of the relevant social relations, which are only beginning to appear on the territory of our state. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that such problems will arise and it is important to solve them. Some proposals for such activities are set out in this paper.
