Second Year Fellows

Collin H. Dubick, MD

Medical School: University of Kentucky
Residency: Emory University
Fellowship Year: 2

Interests: Tuberculosis, vector-borne disease, global health, nutrition

Taylor L. Maturo, MD

Medical School: UC Davis School of Medicine

Residency: Emory University

Fellowship Year: 2

Taylor holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University and earned her MD degree from the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. She served 2 years as a U.S. Peace Corps health volunteer in rural Togo, West Africa where she helped launch the area’s first locally run HIV clinic alongside smaller projects in the realms of malaria, reproductive health, and maternal and child health. She completed her pediatric residency in 2019 right here at Emory and served as third year chief resident for the program. After working as a part-time hospitalist at CHOA, she’s happily joining the Emory Pediatric Infectious Diseases training team to continue her medical education. In addition to patient care, Taylor enjoys teaching students and residents by fostering them to become humanistic, ever-curious physicians. Outside of medicine, Taylor thrives by playing in her garden, experimenting in her kitchen, and traveling with her husband, Jaime. 

Third Year Fellows

Jairo A Fonseca, MD

Medical School: National University of Colombia School of Medicine
Residency: New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medicine
Fellowship Year: 3

I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, where I did my medical training at the National University of Colombia. I first became involved in research during medical school, where I studied the molecular epidemiology of malaria and other tropical parasitic infections to inform nationwide control and elimination programs. My interest in malaria eradication led me to develop a passion for developing vaccines and Immunotherapeutics. I expanded my knowledge in those two areas by completing two postdoctoral fellowships before starting my residency. During my residency at Cornell, I had the opportunity to do a research rotation in the lab of Dr. Sallie Permar, where I worked on projects that focused on understanding the immunopathogenesis of HIV. This experience led me to Emory, where I joined the lab of Dr. Ann Chahroudi, where my work is focused on HIV persistence and latency reversal in children. We hope that by understanding the mechanisms involved in latency, our team can develop therapeutic strategies that could ultimately be used as the basis for a radical cure. I am also proud that through Dr. Chahroudi's mentorship, I was selected as the NIH Office of AIDS Research Scholar of the Pediatric Scientist Development Program, funding my efforts to characterize the cellular mechanisms of HIV latency in childhood during my fellowship.

Diane Saint-Victor, MD

Medical School: Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine
Residency: Tufts University Medical Center
Fellowship Year: 3

I grew up in the Northeast and went to medical school and residency in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts respectively. In between, I earned my Masters in Public Health in Global Health/Infection Diseases at Emory University. While researching communicable diseases and prevention, my focus was on vaccine development and vaccine education. My research interests include global health, virology, and combating vaccine hesitancy. To me, Emory was a natural fit to continue my journey in pediatric infectious diseases. I am beyond excited to make my way back to the milder seasons and warm sunshine! Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, reading fiction and mysteries, and discovering every possible cuisine that a city has to offer.
