The aim of the project is the development of a new receptor biochip, the application of which will primarily enable the effective control, regulation and detection of steroid hormones and selected addictive substances in accordance with Government Decree No. 463/2013 Coll. and the World Anti-Doping Agency WADA, for which there is currently no comprehensive field-based rapid diagnostics available. The purpose of this diagnostic tool will be to provide an effective tool for the protection of athletes, their health and fair play in competitions. Another goal is the development of new nanomodified formulations of food supplements based on cycloastragenol for effective organism regeneration stressed by sports performance and potential intoxication.
