Career
editAfter 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][4] and Genesis Oncology Trust[5] and is an associate editor for biochemistry and biophysics of the Royal Society's Open Science Journal.[6]
Awards
editDay won the Otago School of Medical Sciences' top award for 2010.[4]
