On Nov. 13, 2020, Albert Einstein College of Medicine announced that it had received a five-year, $4.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish a research center to investigate HIV- and human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers in Africa.

The HIV-Associated HPV-related Malignancies Research Center builds on Einstein-led efforts that have already improved research, clinical, and laboratory capacity in Rwanda.
