Dr. Anthony Fauci, the US government’s top infectious disease expert, says he plans to retire by the end of President Joe Biden’s term in January 2025.
Fauci, 81, was appointed director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984, and has led research in HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, Ebola, Zika, and the coronavirus. He has advised seven presidents and is Biden’s chief medical adviser.
In an interview with Politico, Fauci says he hopes to “leave behind an institution where I have picked the best people in the country, if not the world, who will continue my vision.”
