Professor Wolff’s main research interest is concerned with the detection of biomarkers of drugs in biological matrices. She has been funded by the UK Department for Transport to investigate biomarkers of alcohol misuse in drivers. Her work led to Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT) being used as the sole biomarker for relicensing High-Risk Drink-Drivers. In 2016 Professor Wolff received an MBE in the New Year’s Honours for her work as chair of an Expert Panel on drug driving leading to the introduction of the new UK drug-driving legislation. She continues to work as a technical expert for the Department for Transport and is currently working on a report about the detection of nitrous oxide in drivers.

As head of the Drug Control Centre Professor Wolff has overseen the delivery of the testing programme for a number of major events including the UEFA EUROs for both the men and women’s football competitions in 2021/2022, the Rugby League World Cup, 2021, the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the most recently the Cycling World Championships (2023). The Drug Control Centre continues to lead the anti-doping field in research on the detection of biomarkers of growth hormone and has ongoing research in dried blood spots and the detection of exogenous anabolic steroids.

Professor Wolff has recently led on the writing of a primer for the British judiciary on ‘drug testing and toxicology’ and provides expert reports to the WHO Expert Committee for Drug Dependence (ECDD).
