President-elect Joe Biden chose experts with New England ties to assume key leadership roles in the battle against COVID-19 Monday, including a doctor from Massachusetts General Hospital to be the next head of the the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, chief of infectious diseases at MGH and a professor at Harvard Medical School, will take the helm as the 19th director of the CDC amid the coronavirus pandemic.

This trusted and accomplished team of leaders will bring the highest level of integrity, scientific rigor, and crisis-management experience to one of the toughest challenges America has ever faced getting the pandemic under control so that the American people can get back to work, back to their lives, and back to their loved ones," Biden said in a statement.

The president and vice president-elect announced nominations to their health team Monday morning. The group will advise Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on the government's response to slow the spread of the virus, including testing, tracing, treatment and distributing vaccines.

Top doctors with New England ties who were nominated include Dr. Anthony Fauci as chief medical adviser to the president on COVID-19. Fauci attended the College of the Holy Cross and will continue serving as the nation's leading infectious disease expert.

Dr. Vivek Murthy, tapped to serve as Surgeon General, attended Harvard and Yale and completed his residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, named COVID-19 Equity Task Force Chair, is an associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine and the founding director of Yales Equity Research and Innovation Center.

Feel like I'd prefer to have an MD/PhD serve this type of role, but it seems like a good pick.
