Erika A. Barrall

Erika Barrall is a Ph.D. candidate in the Rosenberg lab. Born and raised in San Diego, California, where she attended UCSD and attained her B.S. in Microbiology. During this time, she began her research training in the laboratory of Dr. William Joiner where she studied the role of Ly6 proteins in the regulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Since joining the Rosenberg Lab in 2021, she has developed her scientific interests in immunology and the host response to viral infection. Her primary work focuses on understanding the role of interferon stimulated genes in suppressing cell proliferation.  

Outside of the lab, Erika is likely prowling the New York streets to find good restaurants, markets, and plant stores. She also enjoys cycling in Central Park and along Riverside Park and can always be found with a snack in her bag.
