Dr Craigie is a Lecturer in Cancer Prevention at the Centre for Research into Cancer Prevention and Screening (CRiPS) and Centre of Public Health Nutrition Research (CPHNR). She joined the University of Dundee in 2004 having recently completing her PhD at the University of Newcastle. Since joining the CPHNR she worked as a Research Nutritionist, Study coordinator and Trial Manager over several behavioural intervention studies targeting modifications in dietary intake and physical activity at various stages throughout the lifespan. Since her appointment to Lecturer in 2010 she has maintained her involvement in on-going research within CRiPS and the CPHNR, including MSc and PhD student supervision, and is continuing to build up her undergraduate and postgraduate teaching profile. Her current teaching across CMDN is within the MBChB medical curriculum, the BDS dental curriculum, the Kuwait-Scotland eHealth Innovation Network’s Postgraduate Certificate / Diploma / MSc in Diabetes Care and Education, and distance learning teaching for the School of Nursing’s ‘Challenges of diabetes mellitus’ module and MSc in Global Health and Wellbeing. She also contributes to the College of Life Science’s BSc in Sports Biomedicine and ‘Active Living’ module

Dr Craigie’s research interests lie mainly in behaviour change interventions targeting diet, physical activity and obesity across the life course, for the prevention of cancer and other chronic diseases. Prior to her appointment as Lecturer in 2010 she worked for 6 years as a Research Nutritionist and later as a Trial Manager on several studies predominantly developing and testing lifestyle and weight management interventions in high risk target groups. Prior to her appointment at the University of Dundee, she had completed her PhD examining the tracking of (and influences on) diet and body size between adolescence to adulthood.
