The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and regarded as one of the nation’s leading experts on infectious diseases, Fauci will talk about the science and public health challenges of COVID-19. His lecture will cover the latest developments related to COVID-19, including how to prevent transmission, caring for patients with the virus, medical treatments for COVID-19 and vaccine research.
