Anthony S. Fauci
Director, US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Meet Anthony S. Fauci
Anthony first became Director of NIAID in 1984, where he oversees basic and applied research on HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, emerging diseases such as Zika, and many more – he was also one of the principal creators of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which has saved millions of lives worldwide. Anthony was a clinical researcher at the NIH when the AIDS crisis began, and his interest in the disease led to seminal contributions to the understanding of how HIV destroys the body’s defenses.
