Born in May 1937, Meadow obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania before becoming a faculty member at Johns Hopkins University, where he served for three decades performing protein phosphorylation and bacterial signal transduction research.

Meadow's scientific contributions significantly advanced the field’s understanding of the bacterial phosphotransferase system, PTS. His with led to the isolation and characterization of the glucose-specific bacterial phosphocarrier protein IIIGlc and its role in sugar transport. He also contributed to understanding glucose transport kinetics within the PTS framework and pioneered a technique to characterize kinase–substrate interactions.

He is survived by his wife, Karen; three children, Max, Paul and David; and six grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents, Mary and Paul, and brother, Harold.
