Virtual bioban for tumor tissues
You are doing scientific research in Bulgaria is not easy. Behind such a thesis there are a number of scientists, especially in the field of medicine. Difficulties are of a different nature. The lack of summary clinical data is a particular challenge.
As to help solve part of the problem, Dr Mariela Vassileva and Assoc. Prof. Angel Yordanov united to create the first virtual bioban for tumor tissues. The Cosmos project won the Developer in Science 2021. What are the real benefits and what will be useful for the newly created biobanka, read in the interview that the two doctors researchers gave to the "Quo Vadis" ._
"Dr. Vassileva, how was the idea of creating" Cosmos "? What provokes you to stand behind this project?
\ 'The one for the creation of the biobank is born from our need to use one. Together with Dr. Yordanov, we work on various projects, with most of them a large amount of patient samples. Such are collected difficult at a single center. Therefore, it would be much easier if there is a program to combine clinical data and tumor samples from different institutions.
\ - Why did you decide to target science?
\ - I like a father's father of the organ-drying breast surgery - Umberto Voroneze. He says, "Faith in science is faith in the future." I believe that science is our only real chance to improve the results in our patients. Each one of our action should be based on evidence and global experience. Each of us's attempt is extremely valuable. This is the thing that makes us good doctors, but the experience of the individual is a drop in the sea of global knowledge. Evidence-based medicine creates good medical practice.
