“I am deeply honored to be the recipient of this year’s Distinguished Service Award from the Melvyn H. Motolinsky Research Foundation,” DiPaola said in a press release. “While this is an honor for me, the impact of our cancer research and center for the people of New Jersey is only possible with the work and collaboration of so many others, especially my colleagues at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.”
