- ADLQ successfully hosted its 11th Annual Scientific Symposium, bringing together international experts to discuss the latest challenges in anti-doping science. The two-day event focused on enhancing collaboration and innovation in the fight against doping in sports. The symposium was attended by a distinguished group of experts and researchers, including representatives from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), led by Professor Olivier Rabin, who delivered a presentation on biomarker detection. His talk highlighted WADA’s approach to identifying doping substances and the role of the Athlete Biological Passport. The symposium featured a series of discussions on key challenges in anti-doping, with particular emphasis on genetic and blood doping — topics that are gaining increasing relevance as advancing technologies offer new illegal ways for athletes to enhance performance.
- In addition, the symposium showcased ADLQ’s unique research platforms, including innovative metabolomics techniques and camelid antibody technologies. These platforms are designed to strengthen the detection of prohibited substances and improve the overall effectiveness of anti-doping efforts. Among the key highlights of the event was the exploration of the potential impact of artificial intelligence on sports and anti-doping initiatives. Ongoing physiological studies and biomarker research were also discussed, underscoring the importance of knowledge exchange and dialogue among researchers. This collaborative approach is essential for advancing the science of anti-doping.
