Longtime Director Announces Departure
Renowned Immunologist Steps Down
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has announced that he will be stepping down from his position at the end of the year.
Fauci, 81, has served as NIAID director since 1984. During his tenure, he has overseen an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied immunology, including the development of vaccines for HIV/AIDS, SARS, and COVID-19.
Fauci's departure marks the end of an era at NIAID. He is widely recognized as one of the world's leading immunologists, and his work has had a profound impact on global health.
In a statement announcing his retirement, Fauci said, "I have been honored to serve as the NIAID Director for nearly four decades, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have led this extraordinary institution. I have always strived to put science first, and I believe that our efforts have made a significant difference in the lives of millions of people around the world."
Fauci's departure is a major loss for NIAID and the scientific community. He is a brilliant scientist, a gifted leader, and a tireless advocate for public health. His legacy will continue to inspire and inform generations of researchers and clinicians.
