Join us for an interactive, online fireside chat with Dr. Fauci as he examines our nation’s past, present, and future responses to pandemics and other public health crises.

Dr. Fauci directed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022, through the AIDS crisis, and served as chief medical advisor to President Joseph Biden from 2021 to 2022, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anthony Fauci, M.D.

Former Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

Dr. Fauci served as NIAID director from 1984 to 2022. He oversaw an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, and malaria as well as emerging diseases such as Ebola, Zika, and COVID-19. He also led the NIAID research effort on transplantation and immune-related illnesses, including autoimmune disorders, asthma, and allergies.

Dr. Fauci was a key advisor to seven presidents and their administrations on HIV/AIDS and many other domestic and global health issues. As an HIV/AIDS researcher, he was involved in the scientific effort from the time AIDS was recognized in 1981, conducting pivotal studies that underpin the current understanding of the disease and efforts to develop therapies and tools of prevention. He was also one of the principal architects of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that has saved more than 20 million lives throughout the developing world.
