Dr. Bruce Lipton is an American cell biologist and author. He earned a PhD in developmental biology in 1971, taught anatomy at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, and conducted research at Stanford University's School of Medicine between 1987 and 1992.
Lipton draws on cell biology and epigenetics to argue that environment and belief — not genes alone — shape how cells and bodies function. He presents this as a bridge between science and spirituality.
He is the author of the bestseller The Biology of Belief and received the 2009 Goi Peace Award. He lectures internationally on epigenetics and consciousness.
While his early cell research was conventional, his later ideas have been criticized by some scientists as outside the mainstream, and he has said himself that his work has not been taken up by conventional science. Maybe presents his claims for you to weigh.
On Maybe since 2026.
