Career

After a BSc at Massey University, Day completed a PhD entitled Expression and characterisation of the n-terminal half of human lactoferrin in 1993,[2] also at Massey, before moving to the University of Otago where she rose to professor and head of department.[1]

She has received funding from the Health Research Council of New Zealand[3] and Genesis Oncology Trust[4] and is an associate editor for biochemistry and biophysics of the Royal Society's Open Science Journal.[5]
