Early life
editKatherine 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]
Scientific career
editDenby 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]
She became editor-in-chief of The Plant Journal from January 2024.[1]

editDenby is the author or co-author of over 50 scientific publications. These include:
- Aled Jones, Sarah Bridle, Katherine Denby and 38 others (2023) Scoping potential routes to UK civil unrest via the food system: Results of a structured expert elicitation. Sustainability 15 issue 20
- Emily Breeze, Elizabeth Harrison, Stuart McHattie ... Katherine Denby and 21 others. (2011) High-resolution temporal profiling of transcripts during Arabidopsis leaf senescence reveals a distinct chronology of processes and regulation. The Plant Cell 23 pp 873–894.
