CV
Prof. Neugart studied nutrition science at the Friedrich Schiller
University in Jena. Since her diploma thesis, she has been working
on flavonoids. As a doctoral student, she worked in a DFG project to
identify and quantify the complex flavonoid glycosides in curly kale
and to study the structure-specific response to temperature and
radiation. She gained her doctoral degree from the TU Berlin in July
2012 with honors and since 2013 has been junior research group
leader at the Leibniz Institute for Vegetable and Ornamental Plants
in Grossbeeren. In recent years, she has become an expert in the
field of flavonoids, their identification by HPLC-MS techniques and
their structure-specific response to environmental factors. This led
to a DFG funded research fellowship in the laboratory of Prof. Paul
Barnes, Department of Biological Sciences, Loyola University, New
Orleans, USA. It focused on the diverse functions of flavonoids in
plants (eg UV sunscreens or antioxidants. Since April 2019, Prof.
Neugart is head of the Division of Quality and Sensory of Plant
Products at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.
