The regulation of use of image in Bioinformatics is related to defining what the role can and should do. An image will be defined by the professional's age, laboratory style, salary, research disciplines, contract format, etc. It is conditioned by the roles of student, post-doc, professor, technician, and leaders. Generally, the image is determined by few people representing the role worldwide
Often, bioinformaticians are subordinate to the professional hierarchies of biological sciences. Therefore, the influence of bioinformaticians is also regulated in terms of hierarchy. For example, the use of the scientific findings (gene names and biomarker lists) is almost always protected by the biologists and physicians due to financial interests.
Unfortunately, the use of image has also been conditioned by the professional's nationality. So what a bioinformatician can do in one country has a different rules than a colleague in the same position in another country. Less absurdly, the institution's image is also a determining factor. For example, an institution with an image of transparency does not have the power to directly monetize the product of its findings. While, an institution with an image of applied medicine allows doctors to use biomarkers and genes for treatment before the scientific articles are published. Contrasting with these, an institution with a very influential image politicizes its findings. These are just examples.
Finally, the use of images of bioinformaticians with degrees in Europe is regulated within Europe, even if the professional possesses expertise independent of European institutions. The influence of bioinformaticians outside of Europe is competitive and recognized worldwide, but it is not rewarded. Therefore, most bioinformaticians leave the field after accumulating experience.
