- Larry J. Anderson (born July 29, 1947) is an American virologist who served in leadership positions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for more than three decades. He was director of the Division of Viral Diseases in the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC (2006–2010), and chief of the Respiratory and Enteric Viruses Branch of the CDC Division of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases (1982–2006). From 2003 to 2006, Anderson led the CDC’s Post-Outbreak SARS Program, and he served as a special advisor on smallpox in the Office of the Associate Director for Terrorism, Preparedness, and Response. He is now professor and Marcus Chair of Infectious Diseases and co-director of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Division of the Emory University School of Medicine, and a virologist in the Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit of Emory Clinical Trials. Anderson’s current vaccine-development research is focused on the immunopathogensis of respiratory viral infections, especially Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), an important cause of morbidity and mortality in young children and the elderly globally. His laboratory, which collaborates with the Asthma Research Center at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, is also studying the asthmatic immune response to RSV to identify novel approaches to treatment.
