About Us

Danielle Greenberg Ph.D. FTOS, FACN is leading the efforts at BrainLuxury to put in place a Scientific Advisory Board. Her primary areas of research in the past focused on physiological mechanisms underlying obesity and the control of food intake. She specifically focused on satiety, the satiating effect of dietary fats, brain-gut peptides and neural processes mediating food intake. The intersection of sleep disorders and obesity is one of the reasons she believes she can contribute to the success of BrainLuxury and DELTA. She was previously VP Scientific and Regulatory Affairs Nutrution21, and prior to that a Senior Director Global R&D, and Senior Fellow of Nutrition Sciences at PepsiCo Inc. She received her Ph.D. and M. Phil in Biological Psychology from The City University of New York, and her BS in Biology from Columbia University. She was formerly an Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry of Weill Cornell Medical College.

Dr. Greenberg’s career at PepsiCo included roles in Scientific and Regulatory affairs and Nutrition. Her fellowship was to study nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners and their role in obesity. Dr. Greenberg is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and a Fellow of The Obesity Society. She served as Vice Chair of the International Food Information Council and was a past board member of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior. She has received numerous honors including the Ruth Pike Award for excellence in Nutrition Research from the Pennsylvania State University.

Having a Master's of Science in Molecular Biology, Joyce began her consulting services in 2010 to food companies with the focus on how High Pressure Processing (HPP) of food and beverage products address' both the food safety desires and interests to retain the nutrient and organoleptic properties of the products. Her expertise in HPP food safety involves knowing the regulatory requirements for each food and beverage category and how to validate the HPP process by meeting these requirements.

This includes:
1) Educating companies using HPP on the difference between HPP as a Critical Control Point (CCP) vs shelf-life extension in a HACCP plan;
2) The impact the HPP conditions in relation to the product composition has on specific targeted microorganisms;
3) The design of a challenge study to validate the efficacy of the HPP treatment;
4) Best practices for extending shelf-life (both microbially and sensory).

Presently, she represents the Cold Pressure Council, chairs the High Acid Juice Task Force with the Institute of Food Safety and Health (IFSH) and has recently been appointed to sit on the IFSH Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) which is a diverse group of experts from industry and regulatory agencies to provide guidance and set strategic direction on technical topics related to producing safe and healthy food.
