Zinder was born in New York City, received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and became a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1969. He currently heads a laboratory at Rockefeller University. Additional recommended knowledgeGenetic transduction and RNA bacteriophageWorking as a graduate student with Joshua Lederberg, Zinder discovered that bacteriophage can carry genes from one bacterium to another. Initial experiments were carried out using Salmonella. Zinder and Lederberg named this process of genetic exchange transduction.
