Abstract
in English, Spanish

Biobanks are multidisciplinary infrastructures and, accordingly, this integrative research seeks to bring out the concept of biobank in the various sciences that construct and interpret it, so as to arrive at a holistic understanding of its essential components. This integrative review - guided by PRISMA and with quality assessment following CASPe - resulted in a selection of 30 articles. Data were analysed by Aristotelian categories and the results were interpreted on the complexity paradigm of Edgar Morin. The biobank concept was clarified by considering it to be the representation of a biological, social and cultural phenomenon in which knowledge and practices from diverse scientific fields enter into complementary, antagonistic and ambiguous types of relationship. This network of signification, analysed here using categories from Aristotelian philosophy, has impacts on the construction of subjectivity and forms of socialisation.

Los biobancos son infraestructuras multidisciplinares y esta investigación integradora pretende exponer su concepto a las diferentes ciencias que lo construyen e interpretan, para entender sus elementos esenciales de forma holística. La revisión integradora se realizó siguiendo la guía PRISMA y la evaluación de la calidad según CASPe dando como resultado un total de 30 trabajos. El análisis de los datos se realizó a través de las categorías aristotélicas y los resultados se interpretaron según el paradigma de la complejidad de Edgar Morin. El concepto de Biobanco fue aclarado al considerarlo como la representación de un fenómeno bio-socio-cultural en el que los campos científicos desarrollan relaciones de tipo: complementarias, antagónicas y ambiguas de conocimientos y prácticas. Esta red de significación, desde la filosofía, impacta en la construcción de la subjetividad y en las formas de socialización.
