She leads research into novel breast radiotherapy techniques at The Royal Marsden and Institute of Cancer Research, London.

Dr Kirby graduated from Cambridge University in 1995 with a first-class honours degree in Medicine and Psychology. Her specialist oncology training was completed at The Royal Marsden and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals following which she undertook a research degree at the Institute of Cancer Research.
