Dr. Anthony Fauci announced that he’ll step down from his roles as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden this December.
“While I am moving on from my current positions, I am not retiring,” Fauci said in a statement. “After more than 50 years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career while I still have so much energy and passion for my field.”
President Biden thanked Fauci for his work, saying his “commitment to the work is unwavering.” Fauci has been director of the NIAID for 38 years, beginning his tenure under President Ronald Reagan.
