Dr. Nadia Hoekstra is a pediatric pulmonary fellow at UNC. Nadia grew up in Chapel Hill but spent much of her childhood in Trinidad and Tobago where her mother’s family lives. Nadia attended Boston College where she graduated with a Master of Arts in Sociology and a minor in Hispanic Studies. Following her undergraduate studies Nadia spent two years at the Yale School of Medicine conducting translational research on the mechanisms of acute diarrheal illness, a leading cause of childhood death worldwide. She then went on to graduate from medical school at UNC in 2018. Following medical school, Nadia completed pediatric residency at the University of Colorado where she was a member of the Global Health Track and conducted research on screening practices for pediatric latent tuberculosis infection. Nadia started pediatric pulmonary fellowship at UNC in 2021, and following her first year, she spent one year in Malawi conducting clinical research on severe pneumonia in infants as an NIH Fogarty Global Health Fellow. Nadia plans to pursue an academic career with a focus on improving the health of children with respiratory disease in the United States and globally, with an emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa.

Dr. Yazan Alwarawrah is a Research Assistant Professor who is interested in targeting metabolism for the treatment of disease. Currently, he is studying T cell metabolism in the context of obesity-associated protective immunity dysfunction where he uses the diet induced obesity mouse model to study the effect of obesity on T cell metabolism and function in different tissues using metabolic and flow cytometric approaches. He is specifically interested in the role of T cell metabolic dysfunction in the impairment of protective immunity against influenza. He also works on studying Immunity Related GTPase I (Irgm1) regulation of T cell metabolism and function and its role in protective immunity and autoimmunity, and he works on the metabolic engineering of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to enhance their persistence in the tumor microenvironment. He has a diverse scientific background ranging from molecular biology and bioinformatics to pharmacology and immunology. He seeks challenging questions in cellular metabolism and immunology that can lead to finding treatments for obesity associated pathologies, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.

Deshira Wallace, PhD, MSPH (she/her) is an assistant professor at UNC-Chapel Hill’s Department of Health Behavior and is a Faculty Fellow at the Carolina Population Center. Dr. Wallace’s work is focused on the role of stressors, psychosocial, environmental, and structural, on chronic conditions among minoritized populations. She also works at the intersection of mental and emotional health and physical health. Her work is focused on Latino populations in the US and rural communities in the Dominican Republic, in which she uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the role of stress on chronic conditions. Recent work includes: (1) integrating emotional and mental health into diabetes care in rural Dominican Republic; (2) examining the role of heat stress on the health of farmworkers in eastern North Carolina (3) developing measures of psychosocial distress to support patient-provider interactions. Dr. Wallace earned her PhD in Health Behavior from UNC-Chapel Hill and a BA in Environmental Sciences and Policy from Duke University.
