E. Peter Geiduschek (April 11, 1928 – April 8, 2022) was an Austrian-born American molecular biologist whose research addressed the physical properties of DNA and the mechanisms of transcription and gene regulation. His work included early measurements of DNA denaturation and studies of RNA synthesis that established fundamental features of transcription, including strand-specific copying of DNA templates. Using bacteriophage systems, particularly T4, he investigated the regulation of gene expression and identified factors controlling promoter recognition and transcriptional timing during viral infection. He later contributed to the analysis of eukaryotic transcription, including the identification and characterization of RNA polymerase III transcription factors such as TFIIIB. He was a professor at the University of California, San Diego and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1974.
