Megan Crichton

Dr. Megan Crichton is a Research Fellow in the Cancer and Palliative Care Outcomes Centre at Queensland University of Technology's School of Nursing. As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, her research focuses on non-pharmacological and nutritional management of cancer-related symptoms, particularly chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. She holds a PhD from Bond University, a Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice, and a Bachelor of Health Science.

Her research examines dietary interventions like ginger supplementation and probiotics to improve quality of life during cancer treatment. Current projects include the Ginger-MAP Study on chemotherapy-induced nausea and the FiPro study on gastrointestinal issues during chemotherapy. Her publications demonstrate expertise in systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and qualitative research in nutritional oncology.

Crichton's work consistently shows how nutritional strategies can mitigate treatment side effects, with recent studies investigating gut microbiome modulation, neuropathy management, and evidence synthesis for complementary therapies.
