SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
The Goi Peace Foundation will bestow the 2009 Goi Peace Award on Santa Cruz
resident, Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. in recognition of his pioneering work in the
field of New Biology.
The annual Goi Peace Award honors individuals and organizations in various
fields that have made outstanding contributions toward the realization of a
peaceful and harmonious world for all life on earth. Previous award recipients
include Microsoft`s Bill Gates, Assistant Secretary General of the UN, Robert
Muller and Dr. James Lovelock, founder of the Gaia Theory.
Dr. Lipton will receive the award at a ceremony during the Goi Peace Foundation
Forum 2009 to be held at Ginza Blossom Hall in Tokyo on November 8, 2009.
Hiroo Saionji, president of the Goi Peace Foundation declared, "Through his
research and educational activities, Dr. Lipton has contributed to greater
understanding of life and the true nature of humanity, empowering wide layers of
the public to take control of their own lives and become responsible co-creators
of a harmonious planetary future."
Dr. Lipton, a pioneering stem cell biologist whose research presaged the new
science of epigenetics, is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief:
Unleashing the Power of Consciousness Matter and Miracles and the recently
released Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (And A Way to Get There From
Here). He is internationally regarded for his work in bridging science and
spirit, and has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well
as keynote presenter for national and international conferences.
Additional Information:
Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his
Ph.D. 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. His research on muscular dystrophy, studies employing cloned human stem
cells, focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An
experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and
colleague Dr. Ed Schultz and published in the journal Science was subsequently
employed as a novel form of human genetic engineering.
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. His discoveries presaged one
of today`s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. Two major
scientific publications derived from these studies defined the molecular
pathways connecting the mind and body. Many subsequent papers by other
researchers have since validated his concepts and ideas.
