Dr Aimee Dordevic is a Senior Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics & Food at Monash University, within the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. She is also affiliated with the Victorian Heart Institute (VHI) and is a Registered Nutritionist with the Nutrition Society of Australia and the Association for Nutrition (UK).
Her educational background includes a PhD titled 'Investigation of the acute nutrigenomic response of adipose tissue', which focused on macronutrient effects on inflammatory and metabolic signaling. After completing her PhD, she joined Monash University as a Research Fellow, focusing on adolescent weight management.
Aimee’s research centers on the role of diet in inflammation, immunity, and metabolism, particularly through nutrigenomic interactions. She specializes in human clinical trials, acute feeding studies, adipose tissue biology, and molecular analysis of gene and protein expression. Her work contributes to Sustainable Development Goals related to nutrition, health, and well-being.
The analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on metabolic inflammation, postprandial responses, dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), endothelial function, and the impact of protein intake on energy regulation. Her research integrates molecular biology with public health applications, including portion size estimation and dietary assessment tools.
