Jeanne M. Marrazzo, a University of Alabama at Birmingham infectious-disease expert, will succeed Anthony S. Fauci this fall as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, federal officials announced Wednesday.
after serving as the face of the coronavirus response under Biden and President Donald Trump, when he became the target of GOP-led political attacks. Hugh Auchincloss Jr., a longtime deputy of Fauci’s, has been serving as NIAID’s acting director.
Fauci acknowledged the growing focus on NIH and his institute, warning that Marrazzo would probably face her own share of scrutiny. Michael Saag, who has worked with Marrazzo for more than 20 years, said she has the leadership skills to oversee programs inside and outside of the infectious-diseases institute, and the chops to handle potentially adversarial hearings on Capitol Hill and negative publicity that might come with the role.
