dc.description.abstractCurrently, each biobank in Latin America operates with its own set of standards for database creation and management, resulting in a lack of regional and international interoperability. Furthermore, regulations concerning data protection, curation, and the transfer of biological samples and associated data vary significantly from country to country, by complicating efforts to create a unified data-sharing platform. To address these challenges, Latin America should promote the development of an integrated regional network of biobanks to generate high-quality evidence within the global research ecosystem. This initiative will combine regulatory science—focused on interoperability standards across semantic, technical, legal, and organizational dimensions—and meta-science, which assesses the quality of scientific practice. Evidence indicates that harmonized standards in biobanks lead to higher-quality, more reliable data, thereby facilitating the reproducibility of scientific studies. This paper aims to identify and address existing regulatory, policy, and infrastructure gaps in Latin America to establish harmonized interoperability criteria essential for reproducing biomedical studies. Additionally, it seeks to propose minimum standards for regulating biobank networks, which will promote the development of medical products on a global scale, thereby engendering high quality evidence for the global research ecosystem and enhancing Latin America’s integration into it.
