East Hanover, NJ – May 3, 2024 – John DeLuca, PhD, of Kessler Foundation was named recipient of the 2024 Giants of Multiple Sclerosis® award for rehabilitation. He was one of seven inductees announced by  NeurologyLive® and the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) this week. Dr. DeLuca is senior vice president, Research and Training at the Foundation and a professor in the departments of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Neurology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.

Established in 2021, the Giants of Multiple Sclerosis award honors trailblazers, innovators, and visionaries acknowledged by their colleagues for their outstanding contributions to multiple sclerosis research. Individuals named to this prestigious program have made significant contributions to the field. Nominations were requested in seven different categories, including: Advanced Practice Provider, Mental Health, Neurology, Nursing, Pharmacy, Rehabilitation, and Research. The selection committee was comprised of over 30 MS professionals.

“I am grateful for this award and the recognition from CMSC and NeurologyLive. Every day, my colleagues and I strive to make discoveries that improve the quality of life of individuals with cognitive deficits. We are developing non-invasive treatments and leveraging advanced brain imaging to understand and address MS-related cognitive impairment,” said Dr. DeLuca. “Our goal is to enhance quality of life through effective management strategies like medication, exercise, and rehabilitation. I look forward to exploring new avenues of research for many years to come,” he asserted.

Dr. DeLuca is internationally known for his research on disorders of memory and information processing in a variety of clinical populations including multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Dr. DeLuca has published more than 350 articles and book chapters in these areas, has edited seven books in neuropsychology, neuroimaging, and rehabilitation, and is a co-editor for the Encyclopedia of Clinical Neuropsychology. He has received over $40 million in grant support for his research.

The 2024 Giants of Multiple Sclerosis award ceremony will take place on May 30, 2024, at the Nashville Music City Center during the 2024 CMSC Annual Meeting.
