After graduating with a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from Stockholm University in 2015 and receiving an honorable mention for the Phabian Award from the Swedish Pharmaceutical Society for her PhD thesis, Dr. Liying Jiang is ready to start a career in [...]
Metrology, the science of measurement, is a critical component of nearly all competitive sports. Whether providing accurate measurements for a runner’s time or the distance of a quarterback’s pass, achievement in sport is driven by comparative metrics. The measurement of [...]
A common misconception of doping in sport is that the problem is confined to substances like steroids and growth hormone (HGH) which promote the growth of skeletal muscle. However, the scope of doping, and thus the research that must accompany it, [...]
Recognizing a critical need for independent means of quality control and method validation within laboratory doping analysis, the Partnership for Clean Competition has funded the production of certified anti-doping reference materials for banned substance analysis. The project, entitled "Production of a [...]
For the second installment of our Grant Application Tip series, we’d like to address a common reason for being denied PCC grant funding: not complying with PCC application requirements. The PCC understands that scientific researchers are exceptionally busy - and [...]
Dr. Diamandis (pictured left) has recently published research in Clinical Chemistry discussing the potential linkage between PSA and doping detection. PCC funded research by Dr. E.P. Diamandis discussing the implications of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) for anti-doping has [...]
At the PCC, we recognize that applying for grants is a time consuming and arduous process. Despite this, not all applications are fruitful. As the premier anti-doping research collaborative, the PCC has assessed hundreds of grant applications and noticed commonalities [...]
This is an opinion piece by Jenna Celmer, Stakeholder Engagement Manager for the PCC. Why is the Partnership for Clean Competition a global leader in anti-doping research? I could go on for days, but one of the biggest reasons is we [...]
The anti-doping movement is constantly evolving to mitigate prohibited performance-enhancing activities and ensure the protection of clean athletes. At times, opinions on the direction anti-doping administrators should pursue vacillate wildly, making for a complex and challenging global conundrum. The PCC, however, [...]
Dr. Thevis, (PhD, GTFCh), the anti-doping scientist and professor from Germany, speaks with the PCC about his Mildronate study, choosing the anti-doping discipline, and what's next on his radar. What got you started in anti-doping research? I was a third year chemistry student [...]
