Fauci's been with the NIH since 1968! He's a world leading expert on infectious diseases. Watch Trump fire him for insufficient brown-nosing. In 1968, Fauci joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a clinical associate in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation (LCI) in NIAID. [5] In 1974, he became Head of the Clinical Physiology Section, LCI, and in 1980 was appointed Chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation. In 1984, he became Director of NIAID, a position which he was still holding in 2020. [1] In that role he has the responsibility for an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research on infectious and immune-mediated illnesses. [5] He has turned down several offers to lead his agency’s parent, the NIH, and has been at the forefront of US efforts to contend with viral diseases like HIV, SARS, the 2009 swine flu pandemic, MERS, Ebola and now the new coronavirus. [6] He played a significant role in the early 2000s in creating the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief [7] and in driving development of biodefense drugs and vaccines following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
