• Current Role: Honorary Research Fellow, UWA Medical School
• PhD: Preterm birth effects on airway epithelium, Curtin University (2020-2023)

Research Interests: Denby's work focuses on preterm birth complications, respiratory cell biology, and lung disease. Their studies explore airway repair mechanisms, interferon signaling in preterm survivors, and therapeutic interventions for pediatric respiratory disorders. They contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goal of quality education through academic research.

Publication Trends: Recent outputs include clinical trials on corticosteroid efficacy (PICSI), longitudinal respiratory health analysis (PELICAN), and mechanistic studies on epithelial repair and interferon pathways. Work spans original articles, review papers, and letters in journals like The Lancet Respiratory Medicine and Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology.
