William Greenberg, Ph.D.

Dr. William Greenberg received his Ph.D. in Chemical Biology from the California Institute of Technology, on the design, synthesis, and biochemical characterization of sequence-specific DNA binding molecules. After postdoctoral studies at Scripps Research on design of new RNA binding aminoglycoside antibiotics, he worked in the biotech industry and as an Assistant Professor at Scripps Research, gaining experience in a wide range of disciplines including medicinal chemistry, high-throughput screening, biocatalysis, and glycobiology. He joined NIH in 2009 and served as a Scientific Review Officer at the Center for Scientific Review for over a decade, where he managed a study section focused on structural biology and macromolecular biophysics across a wide range of biological systems, as well as special emphasis panels in chemical biology, drug discovery, and structural biology. His programmatic interests include preclinical cancer drug discovery and development, chemical biology, and molecular mechanisms of cancer therapeutics.
