Anthony S. Fauci
Director, US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
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.
