Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. to Receive 2009 Goi Peace Award.SANTA CRUZ Santa Cruz, city, United States Santa Cruz (săn`tə kr  z), city (1990 pop. 49,040), seat of Santa Cruz co., W Calif., on the north shore of Monterey Bay; inc. 1866. , Calif. -- 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 (person) Bill Gates - William Henry Gates III, Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, which he co-founded in 1975 with Paul Allen. In 1994 Gates is a billionaire, worth $9.35b and Microsoft is worth about $27b. , Assistant Secretary General of the UN, Robert Muller Robert Muller (born 1923 in Belgium) is an employee of the United Nations, whose ideas about world government, world peace and spirituality led to the increased representation of religions in the UN, including New Age cults and traditional cults. and Dr. James Lovelock Dr. James Ephraim Lovelock, CH, CBE, FRS (born 26 July 1919) is an independent scientist, author, researcher, environmentalist, and futurologist who lives in Cornwall, in the south west of Great Britain. , 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 stem cell In living organisms, an undifferentiated cell that can produce other cells that eventually make up specialized tissues and organs. There are two major types of stem cells, embryonic and adult. 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 muscular dystrophy (dĭs`trōfē), any of several inherited diseases characterized by progressive wasting of the skeletal muscles. There are five main forms of the disease. , studies employing cloned human stem cells stem cells, unspecialized human or animal cells that can produce mature specialized body cells and at the same time replicate themselves. Embryonic stem cells are derived from a blastocyst (the blastula typical of placental mammals; see embryo), which is very young , focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and colleague Dr. Ed Dr. Doctor. dr. dram. 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 Cell membrane The membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; it is also called the plasma membrane or, in a more general sense, a unit membrane. This is a very thin, semifluid, sheetlike structure made of four continuous monolayers of molecules. , which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue homologue /ho·mo·logue/ (hom´ah-log) 1. any homologous organ or part. 2. in chemistry, one of a series of compounds distinguished by addition of a CH2 group in successive members. 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. Recipients of The Goi Peace Award: Goi Peace Award 2009: Dr. Bruce H.
