About
Kiyoshi Maehara is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of genetic analysis, anti-doping science, and veterinary medicine. His primary research areas include gene doping detection, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, and non-invasive DNA sampling methods. Maehara’s major contributions center on developing novel, practical testing protocols that address critical gaps in both human sports integrity and animal welfare. Notably, he has advanced the use of dried blood spots combined with NGS and the LabDroid automated system for gene doping control, a method designed to overcome the limitations of current testing and safeguard fair competition. In parallel, Maehara has innovated in veterinary genetics by establishing whole mitochondrial DNA sequencing from fecal samples in domestic dogs, offering a less invasive alternative to oral swabs. While his most cited works (each with 2 citations) are early-stage publications from 2024-2025, they represent foundational steps toward high-impact, real-world applications. Maehara’s work is particularly notable for its translational potential, bridging cutting-edge molecular biology with practical, scalable solutions for doping regulation and animal healthcare.
