Health, Medical & Research Committee

The expert advice of the Health, Medical and Research Committeee enables WADA to serve as a  world leader on health, medical and research issues related to drug-free sport.

Among many of the Committee’s activities are the monitoring of scientific developments in sport with the aim to safeguard doping-free sport practice, as well as the overseeing of various Expert Groups in relation to the Prohibited List, therapeutic use exemptions, laboratory accreditation, and gene doping. The Committee also participates in the selection process of WADA-funded scientific research projects.
