Fauci to join Georgetown faculty as distinguished professor

• The top U.S. infectious disease expert, who also served as President Biden's chief medical adviser, became the public face of the government's pandemic response.
• He had to have security bolstered after being criticized by former President Trump and other conservatives as COVID cases surged.

Details: Fauci, 82, will serve as a distinguished university professor, which is "Georgetown’s highest professional honor that recognizes extraordinary achievement in scholarship, teaching and service," per a university statement.

• He'll teach in the Department of Medicine's Division of Infectious Diseases and the McCourt School of Public Policy.

What they're saying: "This is a natural extension of my scientific, clinical and public health career, which was initially grounded from my high school and college days where I was exposed to intellectual rigor, integrity and service-mindedness of Jesuit institutions," Fauci said in a statement.
