Rate My Professor Aimee Dordevic

Dr Aimee Dordevic is a Senior Lecturer in Nutrition Science in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University. A Registered Nutritionist with both the Nutrition Society of Australia and the Association for Nutrition (UK), she completed her PhD at Deakin University on the 'Investigation of the acute nutrigenomic response of adipose tissue', which examined the effects of macronutrients on inflammatory and metabolic signalling in human serum and adipose tissue through cell culture and molecular analysis of post-meal tissue samples. She joined Monash University in January 2013 as a Research Fellow investigating weight management for adolescents and advanced to her current senior lecturer position. Dordevic coordinates and lectures in units including NUT1101 Science Foundations and NUT2103 Nutritional Physiology, and contributes to NUT1103 Human Biology for Nutrition, NUT3008 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Nutrition, and NUT3001 Evidence Based Nutrition.

Her research employs molecular biology techniques to study nutrition mechanisms and metabolism, focusing on nutrigenomic interactions between nutrients, lifestyle, and disease states. She investigates the impact of food and its components on metabolic inflammation, oxidative stress, diet's role in chronic diseases, inflammation, and immunity. Expertise encompasses human clinical trial coordination, tissue protein and gene expression analysis, acute feeding trials, cell culture, adipose tissue biology, nutritional immunology, immunohistochemistry, anthropometry, phlebotomy, and dietary analysis. Key projects include the Melrose Essential Green and metabolic strain project, bioinformatics workflows for nutrition interventions, and surveys for monitoring self-esteem in children. Dordevic has earned the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Education (2019), School of Clinical Sciences Teaching Excellence Award (2019), and Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence (2019) for the Monash Nutrition Indigenous Curriculum Working Group. She serves as Honorary Secretary of the Nutrition Society of Australia, member of the National Committee for Nutrition Decadal Plan Implementation Committee, and European Nutrigenomics Organization Bioinformatics working group. Notable publications include 'Exploring the physiological factors relating to energy balance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a scoping review' (2025), 'The effects of whole foods and dietary patterns on flow-mediated dilation: a systematic review and meta-analysis' (2025), and 'Advancing the decadal plan for the science of nutrition: Progressing a framework for implementation' (2024).
