Collins, a renowned geneticist who ran the National Institutes of Health for 12 years, announced Saturday that he has retired from the institutes and the federal government, issuing a parting statement that offered a pointed, if somewhat veiled, message to the Trump administration, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/us\/politics\/fda-cdc-health-department-trump.html\" title=\"\">which has fired hundreds of N.I.H. employees<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAs I depart N.I.H., I want to express my gratitude and love for the men and women with whom I have worked side by side for so many years,\u201d Dr. Collins wrote. \u201cThey are individuals of extraordinary intellect and integrity, selfless and hard-working, generous and compassionate. They personify excellence in every way, and they deserve the utmost respect and support of all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Collins, 74, served under three presidents: Barack Obama, Donald J. Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. He became one of the nation\u2019s most recognizable doctors during the coronavirus pandemic, when he helped steer the development of new tests, therapeutics and vaccines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He did not give a reason for his retirement, and he said in a text message that he \u201cwas not doing any interviews.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His announcement comes just days before the Senate confirmation hearing, scheduled for this Wednesday, for President Trump\u2019s nominee to be the next director of the N.I.H.: Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, who has expressed disdain for Dr. Collins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Bhattacharya is one of three authors of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/10\/19\/health\/coronavirus-great-barrington.html\" title=\"\">the Great Barrington Declaration<\/a>, an anti-lockdown treatise that was signed in October 2020, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Emails that later became public showed that Dr. Collins had called Dr. Bhattacharya and his co-authors \u201cfringe epidemiologists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SKMorefield\/status\/1472666552940044294?s=20\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with Fox News<\/a> at the time, Dr. Collins said he stood by his statement, adding, \u201cHundreds of thousands of people would have died if we had followed that strategy.\u201d Dr. Bhattacharya later <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OCJn4xGBxUw\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">assailed Dr. Collins<\/a> as one of a number of scientists who \u201cabused their power to conduct devastating takedowns of scientists who disagreed with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Collins joined the institutes in 1993, during the administration of President Bill Clinton, and gained acclaim for leading the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.nytimes.com\/www.nytimes.com\/library\/national\/science\/062600sci-human-genome.html\" title=\"\">Human Genome Project<\/a>, a federal effort to map the human genome, the set of genetic instructions that defines the human organism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He also became known for his religious views: Dr. Collins is an evangelical Christian who has publicly sought to bridge the divide between science and Christianity, including in a 2006 book, \u201cThe Language of God.\u201d Amid the political fallout over the coronavirus pandemic, he joined a group called \u201cBraver Angels\u201d that sought to bridge the partisan divide, and later <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7SXDgXy4ODM\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">publicly acknowledged<\/a> some Covid mistakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His carefully crafted statement offered a forceful defense of the N.I.H. and a lament for the days when biomedical research had strong bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Collins noted that when he was recruited to the institutes and through many of the years that followed, \u201cinvestment in medical research was seen as a high priority and a nonpolitical bipartisan effort \u2014 saving countless lives, relieving human suffering and contributing substantially to the U.S. economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cN.I.H. is the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt is the main piston of a biomedical discovery engine that is the envy of the globe. Yet it is not a household name. It should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He went on: \u201cWhen you hear about patients surviving stage 4 cancer because of immunotherapy, that was based on N.I.H. research over many decades. When you hear about sickle-cell disease being cured because of CRISPR gene editing, that was built on many years of research supported by N.I.H.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, a longtime colleague of Dr. Collins\u2019s who retired at the end of 2022 as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, praised Dr. Collins on Saturday, saying he has had an \u201dextraordinarily positive impact\u201d on biomedical research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But allies of Mr. Trump and his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., cheered Dr. Collins\u2019s departure. Among them is Katie Miller, who served as Mr. Kennedy\u2019s spokeswoman before Mr. Trump appointed her to the Department of Government Efficiency, the Elon Musk-led effort to overhaul the federal government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFrancis Collins was an ineffectual leader who bent at the knee to Tony Fauci and openly mocked President Trump,\u201d Ms. Miller wrote on social media. \u201c@DrJBhattacharya is the right leader to move @NIH forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Collins\u2019s retirement, which took effect on Friday, comes on the heels of the departure of other high-ranking N.I.H. officials, including <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/12\/us\/politics\/national-health-institutes-resignation-trump.html\" title=\"\">Dr. Lawrence A. Tabak,<\/a> the longtime No. 2 official at the institutes. Dr. Tabak left last month, according to a person familiar with his decision, after being confronted with a reassignment that he viewed as unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Collins was appointed to lead the N.I.H. by Mr. Obama, and he stepped down as director in late 2021, the first year of the Biden administration, to return to his lab. \u201cMillions of people will never know Dr. Collins saved their lives,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/10\/05\/us\/politics\/francis-collins-nih.html\" title=\"\">Mr. Biden said<\/a> at the time. \u201cCountless researchers will aspire to follow in his footsteps.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/01\/us\/politics\/francis-collins-nih-retires.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Francis S.
