The 1918 flu pandemic killed more than 50 million people globally. One hundred years later, the world continues to contend with the risk of novel influenza outbreaks reaching pandemic scale. During this reporter breakfast, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease will discuss efforts in the U.S. health system to detect, prevent, and respond to influenza and other emerging pandemic threats.
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., was appointed director of NIAID in 1984. He oversees 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 and Zika. Dr. Fauci has also advised five Presidents on HIV/AIDS and many other domestic and global health issues. He was one of the principal architects of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that has saved millions of lives throughout the developing world.
