Using Gene Sequencing Technology to Enhance Anti-doping Efforts in Sports
Doping scandals have long plagued the Olympic Games' history, casting a shadow over the integrity of international sports and highlighting the ongoing need for more robust anti-doping strategies. Professor Pitsiladis is recognized worldwide for pioneering work integrating advanced scientific techniques, particularly gene sequencing and genomics, into anti-doping initiatives.

| | A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight into mitotic chromosome condensation in living human cells. | | | | This study is led by Prof. Shunxin Wang (State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University) and Prof. Liangran Zhang (Advanced Medical Research Institute, Shandong University). | | | | Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents a significant health challenge, especially with rare genetic variations complicating treatment. | | | | A gene called ZNRF3, known to be involved in cancer, also messes with the mind. The human brain relies on two copies of this gene to build a right-sized brain. If one of the copies is defective, the brain will be either too small or too large - known as mirror effect -, leading to various neurological symptoms. | | | | Studying how single DNA molecules behave helps us to better understand genetic disorders and design better drugs. | | | | As direct descendants of ancient bacteria, mitochondria have always been a little alien. | | | | Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a unique technology to screen new DNA-targeting therapeutics designed to treat cancer and other diseases. | |
