Dr Crowe teaches about the role of nutrition in disease prevention and management, particularly diabetes and cancer.
He is actively involved in several areas of nutrition research including specialised nutrition in the prevention of surgical complications; nutrition support in wound healing; and at a public health level, the changing nutritional intake of the Australian population.
He is as an acknowledged expert on dieting approaches for weight management and writes for many consumer publications, speaks regularly on many nutrition topics to the general public and is active in providing information and comment to many media organisations. He is also an independent director on the Weight Management Council of Australia.
