Bruce Harold Lipton is an American writer and lecturer. He is recognized as a prominent figure in bridging science and spirit, although some peers have dismissed his work as pseudoscience. Despite this, he has made a significant impact through public speaking and his publications, notably the bestseller, The Biology of Belief.

Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist, obtaining his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. He then joined the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1973, where he conducted research on muscular dystrophy and cloned human stem cells, focusing on molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior.

In 1982, Dr. Lipton explored the principles of quantum physics and their application to cellular information processing systems. His groundbreaking studies on the cell membrane revealed its role as the cell's brain, controlling gene activity based on environmental influences. These discoveries contributed significantly to the field of epigenetics, linking the mind and body via molecular pathways.

His novel scientific approach influenced not only his professional work but also his personal life, enhancing his wellbeing and underscoring the impact of the mind on bodily functions. Bruce Lipton has shared his insights globally, teaching both medical professionals and lay audiences about the intersections of modern science, mind-body medicine, and spiritual principles.

He has been a keynote speaker at numerous national and international conferences, and his work continues to inspire many in the emerging field of new biology.
