Center for AIDS Research

The Einstein-Montefiore Center for AIDS Research

The Einstein-Montefiore Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) coordinates the diverse research activities at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) and Montefiore Medical Center (Montefiore) that involve hundreds of investigators working with over 100 NIH-funded faculty members from sixteen basic and clinical departments. The Einstein-Montefiore CFAR also supports these activities by providing Core services to these researchers. More information about the NIH-funded CFAR program, Einstein-Montefiore CFAR, Einstein-Montefiore AIDS investigators and their research programs, the Einstein NIH-funded AIDS training program and useful research links can be obtained by clicking on the appropriate links above.

The overarching mission of the Einstein-Montefiore CFAR is to stimulate research to expand our understanding of HIV pathophysiology and to develop new approaches to prevent and treat HIV infection and associated manifestations in the large population of HIV-infected adults, adolescents and children cared for in the network of clinics associated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center.
