Catherine Louise Day is a New Zealand biochemist. She is currently a professor and head of the biochemistry department at the University of Otago.[1]

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, 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[2] and Genesis Oncology Trust[3] and is an associate editor for biochemistry and biophysics of the Royal Society's Open Science Journal.[4]
