Abstract
Abstract Biobanks have proven to be significant research and reference infrastructures that house collections of specimens and associated data for future biomedical research. The Macau Special Administrative Region government has determined the need to diversify its economy and has set a target ratio for a gross domestic product contribution in the high-tech research industry. This article presents the rewards, challenges, and digital aspects of the potential establishment of a regional biobank in Macau to improve health research capacity and innovative high-tech initiatives while recognizing biosecurity, digital, and public health issues without compromising legal, social, ethical, and/or ethnic boundaries within the region. The development of a regional biobank of biological samples and data, along with additional information from diverse populations for future conducted research projects, is anticipated to stimulate the region’s economic, scientific, and public health growth.
