Denise holds a Biochemistry degree from Edinburgh University and was awarded
her doctorate at the same university for studies into the synthesis of starch
in developing barley.
Upon joining BRi in 1973, her early research work was in the area of
malting biochemistry, in particular protein degradation during malting.
Denise was given responsibility for Food Safety Research and Services
in 1985, and has since had responsibility for maintaining BRi's Food Safety
information databases.
She is internationally consulted on food safety issues and runs an ongoing
programme of research and evaluation relating to food safety and health
benefits of both brewing raw materials and beers and ciders.
Her expertise on food safety matters within the malting and brewing
industries is recognised through her membership of food safety-related
committees of the BBPA, the Brewers of Europe, Euromalt and MAGB and by
the extent to which she is consulted from both within and outside the
industry.
Denise is the author of over 40 papers relating to malting and brewing.
She is a frequent speaker at international brewing conferences and seminars
and is widely consulted.
