E. Peter Greenberg is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Microbiologist who helped discover bacterial quorum sensing
Greenberg helped discover bacterial 'quorum sensing' — the chemical signaling by which bacteria coordinate group behavior — and coined the term in 1994. Born in Hempstead, New York, he is included in Jinfo.org's list of Jewish biomedical scientists, though his biographies do not further document this background. His work reshaped microbiology and the search for new antibacterial strategies, and he shared the 2015 Shaw Prize.
