Biden administration's pandemic response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha resigns to return to Brown University

White House COVID-19 response coordinator Ashish Jha is leaving his post to return to his previous position as dean of Brown University's School of Public Health.
Jha was appointed to help transition the Biden administration to managing COVID-19 as an endemic disease instead of an emergency.
Jha's insights from leading the nation's pandemic response will help him train public health leaders at Brown University.
Jha helped guide Brown University and Rhode Island's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
President Biden praised Jha for effectively communicating complex scientific information in a way that improved and saved lives during the pandemic.
