Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, is an internationally-recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences. Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his PhD degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973.
In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell’s information-processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell’s equivalent of a brain.
His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine between 1987 and 1992 revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. Dr. Lipton has taken his award-winning medical school lectures to the public and is currently a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop presenter. Dr. Lipton is not a full-time faculty member.
