Dr. Anthony Fauci is an immunologist who has made substantial contributions to HIV/AIDS research and other immunodeficiencies, both as a scientist and as the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.
The grandson of Sicilian immigrants, Anthony Fauci grew up in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, New York. In 1958, he graduated from Regis High School in New York City, where he was captain of the basketball team. He graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1962, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1966.
