Last November, more than 100 friends and colleagues of Dr. and Mrs. Gerald P. Curatola, ’83, paid tribute to the couple’s generosity and commitment to NYUCD by participating in a gala celebration at the legendary Le Cirque restaurant in Manhattan. Last year, Dr. and Mrs. Curatola donated $1 million to create the Curatola Wing for Clinical Research, to be located in the Bluestone Center for Clinical Research.

In his remarks, Interim Dean Richard I. Vogel said, "Dr. Curatola has always given generously to his alma mater. This wonderful, latest philanthropic act by Gerry and Georgia Curatola ensures that clinical research at NYUCD will continue to set standards for the nation."
