What's New
2016
August 9
Prof. James Harynuk and his team at the University of Alberta have received a grant from the Partnership for Clean Competition to develop real-time screening methods for novel designer drugs and other controlled substances in doping control. Drug cheats have often stayed ahead of drug testing with new designer steroids, but the research by Harynuk and his team will aim to turn the tables by identifying suspicious compounds in blood and urine samples without foreknowledge of the identities of possible performance enhancing drugs. This new technology may be ready in time for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, and could be used to retroactively test samples from the current Olympic Games in Rio.
