Early in the 1990s, the center received generous funding from Albina du Boisrouvray’s FXB Foundation to enhance the local clinical program and to expand the center’s expertise to address the rapidly growing HIV pandemic. In recognition of this generous award, the center was named the François-Xavier Bagnoud Center. Learn more.
