Abstract
The paper studies some aspects and considerations of the legal regulation of genomic research in the context of modern challenges. Approaches to the formulation of some basic concepts in the field of bioinformatics, such as information, information space, are proposed, the importance of these concepts for legal regulation is substantiated. Approaches to the legal regulation of the commercial use of the results of genomic research in the field of bioinformatics are formulated. Approaches to the legal regulation of the activities of biobanks are proposed based on the analysis of the possibility of using blockchain technology to improve the functioning of the biobank, the possibility of attracting investments through crowdfunding financing. The classification of biobanks according to various criteria is given. Approaches to the formulation of such concepts as donation and parenthood are determined within the framework of the legal regulation of genomic research in the field of human reproduction. The influence of modern challenges associated with the development of science and technology on the formulation of these concepts is considered. Approaches to solving the problem of ensuring a balance of private, group and general interests in the field of legal regulation of genomic research are proposed.
Highlights
The paper studies some aspects and considerations of the legal regulation of genomic research in the context of modern challenges
When developing future economic models for the functioning of biobanks, it is advisable to take into account the possibility of using blockchain technology, which will significantly improve the organization of the biobank, rationalize the use of production means, and, obtain a significant economic effect from the introduction of appropriate technologies
The development of an informational, post-industrial society, informational, digital economy is an important factor that has determined the emergence of new areas of knowledge, scientific disciplines, new challenges, including in the field of genomic research
Summary
The rapid development of information technology has led to the emergence of new branches of knowledge and science, new areas of activity, areas of application of new technologies. We note that both legislative initiatives and judicial practice are just beginning to form balanced approaches to legal regulation and many questions and problems remain unresolved and are still subject to further development (D’yakov, 2020; Moskovkina, 2020; Ponomareva, 2020; Sorokina, 2020) In this regard, attention is drawn to the proposal of the Committee on Ethics, Law and Society (CELS) of the Human Genome Organization (HUGO), within the framework of which a number of principles were formulated that, in the opinion of the representatives of the Committee, can form the basis of the regulatory model. These principles, in our opinion, are the most general principles of legal regulation and can be used as the basis for the regulatory model of commercial use of the results of genomic research; in our opinion, they need to be clarified and further developed in relation to specific areas of genomic research
