Nicola Gray: Assistant analyst
Nicola is a PhD student from the Drug Control Centre at King’s College London. She will play an important role during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games this year
In partnership with GlaxoSmithKline, King’s College London will run the anti-doping laboratories in Harlow and Nicola will join the team of scientists as an assistant analyst. For the last three years, Nicola has focussed on an analysis technique called liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection during her PhD at King’s. This method involves separating, identifying and quantifying compounds within a sample to obtain more accurate and sensitive results. This knowledge and experience will be put into practice once the athletes arrive in London for the Games.
