He was just 33 years old when he won the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering that bacteria can mate and exchange genes. He shared the prize with Edward L. Tatum and George Beadle who won for their work with genetics. His discovery that bacteria can mate and exchange genes allowed scientists to use bacteria in genetic research, eventually leading to studies of DNA recombination.

He studied under his co-winner of the Nobel Prize, Edward L. Tatum at Yale University, and published with him a paper in 1946 showing the E. Coli bacterial can interbreed. Joshua Lederberg is a member of Richest Celebrities and Biologists.
