physician in charge of informed consent in (genetic) epidemiological research


Explanation:
This extract below explains it better than I can! Apparently, genetic epidemiological research is changing the "ground rules" for informed consent, and that is perhaps why your question contains the term "vigilancia epidemiológica".

A reformulation of the fundamental approach to informed consent for genetic epidemiological research is needed to accommodate the scientific need for information on sequence variation, to foster the development of effective clinical intervention, and to improve access to health care for all ethnic populations.

I have only had a brief look, so if this does not seem right, please let me know and I'll have a longer look.
