Acting head of NIH’s infectious disease institute reported to have stepped down - statnews.com
Overview
Jeffery Taubenberger, who had been serving as acting director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the NIH, has reportedly stepped down, leaving the institute without a confirmed leader. His departure deepens a pattern of turnover in federal agencies, particularly within public-health leadership, and could complicate coordination of infectious-disease research and response while a permanent director is sought. The vacancy may increase short-term uncertainty for NIAID operations and interagency public-health efforts.
