Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the United States, announced that he will step down as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical adviser to the White House in December this year.

U.S. President Biden said in a statement that he believes that no matter what Fauci does in the future, the American people and the world will continue to benefit from Fauci’s expertise. Biden thanked Fauci for his spirit, energy and scientific integrity.

Dr. Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, said he will pursue another chapter in his career after leaving both positions.

The 81-year-old said in a statement that leading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is a lifetime honor.
