Katherine J. Denby was awarded a B.Sc. in microbiology from the University of Bristol. She then undertook research in plant science at University of Oxford and was awarded a doctorate in 1994.[1]
Denby is a professor at University of York in the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products. Her research uses a wide range molecular and large-data approaches to understanding plant-pathogen interactions, in both the field and more controlled conditions like vertical farming.[2]
