Harry Greenberg received his BA in History from Dartmouth College in 1966.  He received his M.D. from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1970. He did his internal medicine house staff and GI fellowship training at Bellevue Hospital and Stanford, respectively. Dr Greenberg spent 9 years at the NIH in the Laboratory of Infectious Disease as a tenured scientist prior to moving to Stanford in 1983. He is currently the Joseph D. Grant Professor of Medicine and Microbiology and Immunology, Acting Co-Chairman of the Department of Medicine and the Senior Associate Dean for Research and Training at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is also a staff physician at the Palo Alto VA hospital and was previously the ACOS for Research at the Palo Alto VA. Dr Greenberg is a member of a variety of scholarly societies including the ASCI, AAP, and the Fellowship of the AAAS, and he currently serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Virology.

He has been an active NIH supported investigator for over 30 years during which time his studies have been directed primarily at viruses that infect the GI tract, liver or respiratory tree. He has focused much of his efforts on studies of rotavirus but has also worked in the area of HBV, HCV, noroviruses and influenza virus. His work has spanned the spectrum from the basic studies of viral: host cell interaction to translation work on the immune response to important pathogens in both animal models and humans and has included clinical trials of vaccine safety and efficacy. He has trained a large number of MD and PhD post-doctoral students who are now in independent careers in science and academic medicine. During a two year leave of absence from Stanford Dr. Greenberg was the Chief Scientific Officer at a biotechnology company called Aviron (now Medimmune Vaccines) where he played an important role in bringing the live attenuated influenza vaccine to licensure.
