Denise Kirschner

Denise Ellen Kirschner is an American mathematical biologist and immunologist whose research topics include granulomas, HIV, tuberculosis, and the mechanisms by which disease pathogens interact with and persist in their hosts.She is a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan,[1] co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Theoretical Biology,[2] and former president of the Society for Mathematical Biology.[3] Her dissertation, Mathematical Modeling of the AIDS Virus in Epidemiology and Immunology, was jointly supervised by Jerome Goldstein and James (Mac) Hyman.[6] Kirschner was listed as one of the inaugural Fellows of the Society for Mathematical Biology, in the class of 2017.[5] She was named a SIAM Fellow in the 2021 class of fellows, "for contributions to modeling pathogen-host interactions and host immune response in infectious diseases and training in mathematical biology/immunology".
