President-elect Donald Trump chose Stanford academic and US COVID-19 policy critic Jay Bhattacharya to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

During his tenure, Bhattacharya will oversee the NIH's research efforts, including vaccine development and drug targets, facing potential shifts in focus and significant layoffs proposed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was selected to lead the Department of Health and Human Services
