Instrumente informaționale și etica cercetării în consolidarea biobankingului din Republica Moldova

Abstract

The paper demonstrates that the digitalization of biobanking, in the context of a solid legislative and ethical framework, not only makes services more efficient, but also creates the premises for scientific collaborations and sustainable development in the Republic of Moldova. The technological transfer (24.80015.8007.02TT) of the software „Register of informational evidence of biospecimens within the Biobank”, developed in accordance with international standards and implemented in the Biobank of the State Medical University „Nicolae Testimițanu”, adjusted to the biobanking needs of the co-financing institutions, Oncological Institute and LLC „ALFA Diagnostica”, serves as an innovative model in the development of the biobanking service in the Republic of Moldova and creates premises for the foundation of the unique system, in the country, for managing data associated with biobanking, a system corresponding to international standards. The results confirm the software’s ability to meet the objectives: operational, clinical and ethical growth. Interoperability and interoperability with European networks position the Republic of Moldova as an emerging center in biobanking, and the involvement of ethics in all phases (collection, storage, use) strengthens transparency and accountability in research.
