Burchill Lab Research Team
Current Team Members
 | Matthew A. Burchill, PhD |
 | Abbigayl Burtis "I chose research because it allows me to follow through on my curiosities and questions, which seem endless the more I learn about molecular biology and immunology. In my home state of Michigan, I studied cellular, molecular, and developmental biology at the University of Michigan. Once beginning my PhD at AMC in 2021 I was able to combine my previous passion for molecular biology with my interest in immunology. Now I spend most of my week trying to understand T cells and most of my evenings and weekends skiing, climbing, or playing soccer."

 | Destiny DeNicola "I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I have always been fascinated with how basic chemicals combine to form a vast number of complex cellular components responsible for creating the incredible phenomenon of not only life, but also consciousness. This fascination motivated me to pursue two Bachelors of Science degrees in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Arizona which I completed in May 2019. My passion for molecular biology translates into a strong work ethic that drives me to overcome difficult research obstacles and take on new challenges. This attitude carries over into my hobbies of reading and hiking. There is no book too long and no mountain too high!" |
 | Nathaly Limon De La Rosa "My interest in research stems from a desire to better understand complex biological systems and to continue asking questions as my knowledge of molecular biology and immunology grows. I completed my undergraduate training in Biology at UNAM in Mexico City, where I developed a strong foundation in experimental science. I began my PhD at AMC in 2023 and now spend my days studying how dendritic cells drive chronic liver disease. Outside the lab, I enjoy skiing, reading, baking, and playing tennis" |
