Nenad Naumovski completed his Bachelor of Human
Nutrition (Honours) at the University of Newcastle (UoN), Ourimbah, NSW,
Australia with an interest in biomarkers associated with the development of atherosclerosis
(plasma thiols, B vitamins), dietary intake and the cognitive functioning of
an elderly population residing in a retirement village. He also earned a PhD in
Food Science in which he investigated the cholesterol-lowering properties of the
major green tea catechin, epigallocatehin gallate (EGCG), in animal models of
hypercholesterolemia, as well as determining the pharmacokinetic and
cholesterol-lowering properties of EGCG in humans. His current research
interests involve healthy ageing trajectories and the nexus between the areas of
plant bioactives and nutraceuticals, their consumption and effects on
psycho-cardiometabolic markers in humans.
