Recent Work

Radoslav Stojchevski is a Research Assistant at the Endocrine Research Laboratory at Friedman Diabetes Institute of Lenox Hill Hospital. He also holds a position of a Friedman Fellow at the Friedman Diabetes Institute (FDI). His formal education was completed in Macedonia where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. He recently obtained a Master of Science degree at the Department of Biochemistry and Physiology of the University of Skopje, Macedonia, in collaboration with the FDI.

Mr. Stojchevski’s primary research interests include investigation of the role of various polyphenols with the accent on monocarbonyl curcumin analogues in diabetes. Additionally, he is participating in other projects currently active at FDI such as investigating the in vitro effects of experimental monocarbonyl analogues of curcumin on breast cancer progression; the role of irisin and other cytokines in human ovarian physiology; the molecular mechanisms by which hypoxia modulates cytokine secretion in breast cancer cells; and a multidisciplinary study examining cardiovascular and bone density health in transgender individuals. He is also involved in mentoring fellows, summer students and volunteers rotating through the Endocrine Research Laboratory at the FDI.
