Genetics and Law: The Challenges of 2020–2030
Congress Centre, conference hall E11
Bioresource collections together with technologies for preservation and research thereof, form the foundation for bioeconomics, food security, and biosafety. Against the background of globalization and modern challenges, creating and preservating the unique genetic diversity of bioresource collections and biobanks becomes a task of paramount importance for fundamental science in various fields and industries. Achieving these goals is possible if the legal regulation of bioresource centers is improved. If accomplished, it will provide uniform rules and requirements for the formation of genetic resource collections, storage, and provision of samples in accordance with global standards, as well as for the creation of Russian bioinformation and genetic databases.
