Meet Our Fellows

Yike Jiang, MD, PhD (preferred pronouns: she/her)
Third Year Rheumatology Fellow

I was born in China and grew up in the UK and Canada as a kid. I went to undergrad at University of Maryland and earned my MD/PhD from Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. I completed my residency at Baylor College of Medicine / Texas Children's Hospital, and I am excited to be at Duke for fellowship. My research interests are post-infectious inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, especially autoimmune encephalitis. I'm also interested in the application of machine learning in rheumatology. I'm a fan of traveling, virtual reality, ultimate frisbee, badminton, and fostering kittens.

Dahima Cintron-Lopez, MD
​Combined Adult and Pediatric Fellow
Second Year Rheumatology Fellow

Born in Chicago and later raised in the Puerto Rico mountain range, I have had a dynamic upbringing. After a few years in the midwest, and then staying in Puerto Rico for undergraduate, medical, and Med-Peds residency training, I am excited to venture out to North Carolina and pursue combined pediatric and adult rheumatology at Duke. I chose Duke because of the great relationship between both adult and pediatric rheumatology departments, strong lupus research, and encouraging mentors. I aim to explore the transition to adult care and reproductive health in lupus. For my hobbies, I  am a fervent long-distance runner and nature lover!
