CENTERS 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 70 NIH-funded faculty members from a broad range of basic and clinical departments. The Einstein-Montefiore CFAR also supports these activities by providing Basic Science and Clinical 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 link on the left.

The goal of the the CFAR is to rapidly translate the newest advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of HIV and HIV-related diseases into therapies to augment the treatment of 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.
