Dr Naumovski’s PhD in Food Science was gained by investigating the cholesterol lowering properties of 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. During this time, Dr Naumovski applied his expertise in development and adaptation of chromatographic methods used for analysis of health indicators in blood such as plasma thiols, various forms of cholesterol, triglycerides, carotenoids and tocopherols. Dr Naumovski commenced his employment at University of Canberra (UC) in 2014 and currently he works as a Full Professor in Food Science and Human Nutrition and he is a course co-convener for Bachelor of Human Nutrition degree. He has also established a research arm at UC looking into healthy aging trajectories, plant bioactives, psychocardiology and development of nutraceuticals.
