Biography
Dr Aimee Dordevic is a Registered Nutritionist with both the Nutrition Society of Australia and the Association for Nutrition (UK). She works in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics & Food, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University as a Nutrition Science Senior Lecturer and Researcher.
Aimee studies nutrition mechanisms and metabolism using molecular biology techniques to investigate how nutrients, lifestyle and disease states are linked through nutrigenomic interactions. She specialises in conducting human studies, with a particular interest on the impact of food and its components on metabolic inflammation and oxidative stress, and the relationship between diet to chronic diseases.
Aimee's PhD titled the 'Investigation of the acute nutrigenomic response of adipose tissue' examined the effect of macronutrients on inflammatory and metabolic signalling in human serum and adipose tissue. The project involved treatment of cultured cells with different types of fatty acids as well as collection and subsequent molecular analysis of human tissue samples in the hours immediately following meals that varied in macronutrient composition. After her PhD, she joined Monash University as a Research Fellow investigating weight managment for adolescents.
Aimee is an Oceanic Nutrition Leadership Platform alumni, and is committed to advancing the science of nutrition, and enhancing the future workforce though her role as an educator, and service through professional organisations.
Current service:
- Nutrition Society of Australia, Honorary Secretary
- National Committee for Nutrition. Australian Academy of Science, Decadal Plan Implementation Committee
- European Nutrigenomics Orgnanization (NuGO), Bioinformatics working group
