Yvette Dehnes

Yvette Dehnes is an Associate Professor in the Section of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Oslo. Her research focuses on analytical chemistry methods for doping control, forensic drug analysis, and pharmacokinetics. She has contributed to advancements in sample preparation techniques (e.g., dried blood spots), biomarker detection, and anti-doping strategies. Her work frequently addresses challenges in detecting performance-enhancing drugs and optimizing analytical protocols for sports medicine applications.

Research interests include:

• Development of robust analytical methods for drug detection in biological matrices
• Pharmacokinetics of doping substances
• Standardization of anti-doping protocols
• Forensic analysis of illicit substances

Her articles highlight innovations in sample collection (e.g., painless dried blood spot methods) and detection of hormones like testosterone and EPO. Collaborations span institutions in Norway, Denmark, and internationally.

Dehnes is affiliated with the Pharmaceutical analytical chemistry research group at the University of Oslo.
