With the concerns of Whooping Cough, Ebola and now a Measles outbreak, the transmission of viruses is certainly a cause for concern.

Her research interests in the epidemiology and prevention of pediatric infections have led to a career in prevention and treatment of perinatal HIV infection, vaccine-preventable diseases, and international health. Professor Maldonado has devoted substantial effort to teaching and training activities at Stanford University as well as in the national and international setting. She also contributes her time in Mexico with well-established Mexican pediatric infectious disease and epidemiology colleagues and as a site principal investigator for Perinatal HIV Prevention studies in Zimbabwe through NIH-funded networks.
