ALL Faculty Profiles (physicians, fellows, APPs, admin)

  • Christopher Peterson, MD, MSC

    First Year Fellow

    I grew up in the Los Angeles area, lived all over the US, and have now fallen in love with the beautiful East Coast. In a former life I was a virologist, and this undoubtedly fed my love of infectious diseases.

    I had the privilege of doing an away rotation at UNC while I was a resident. Everyone was welcoming, personable, and treated me like a fellow. I’m a firm believer that it’s the people around you who make you successful, and this is especially true at UNC. I’m currently interested in immunocompromised host and transplant infectious diseases.

    I’m an unabashed sci-fi nerd, Thai food connoisseur, and curator of the largest film score playlist this side of the Mississippi.

  • Meghana Rao, MD

    First Year Fellow

    I grew up in Florence, SC and came to Duke in Durham, NC for college, medical school, and residency in internal medicine. I chose UNC for a so many reasons – the people here are so kind and approachable and that really came across on interview day. It was also clear that program leadership was eager to help fellows design and individualize their own paths during fellowship and were supportive and encouraging of a wide range of career and research trajectories. I am interested in specializing in HIV research during fellowship and also wanted to come to UNC for the diversity of research here in this subject. I enjoy walking and hiking at state parks around NC, reading, and spending time with my cat.

  • Lauren Saint, MD

    First Year Fellow

    I grew up in Indianapolis, IN and went to college at DePauw University, a small liberal arts school in Indiana. Following that, I completed medical school and my Internal Medicine-Pediatrics residency at Indiana University. I chose UNC ID for fellowship because of their strong commitment to caring for patients living with HIV and serving vulnerable populations. On interview day, I was impressed by the warm, welcoming, and accomplished faculty who demonstrated a genuine investment in the success and development of their fellows. Lastly, I was excited to live in a beautiful (yet relatively affordable) part of the country where I could spend plenty of time outdoors. I am most interested in focusing on HIV care (with particular interests in caring for adolescents living with HIV or those transitioning from pediatric to adult care), the intersection between substance use disorders and infectious diseases, STIs, and medical education during fellowship. Outside of work, I love to run, read, and try new restaurants.
