Dr. Gupta - Founder of Curious And Creative Lab

I’m Dr. Shilpi Gupta, a Research Scientist trained in Cancer Biology and Innate Immunology, specializing in Science & Health Communication, Writing, and Education. After years of working in academic research and publishing in high-impact journals such as Cancer Research, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Translational Research, Scientific Reports, and Nature Communications, my career path shifted in 2021 from the wet lab to the community. What began as an organic transition soon became a clear mission: to make science understandable, actionable, and connected to real life.

The idea behind Curious & Creative Lab comes from the beautiful balance of the brain. While all regions contribute to how we think and learn, the left brain is often associated with logic and curiosity, and the right with creativity and imagination. This blend inspired the Lab’s vision: to make learning both curious and creative.

My mission is to empower communities to live healthier and longer, prevent chronic conditions, and dispel the misconceptions around aging. Every stage of life - youth, adulthood, women’s health, and senior years, brings unique challenges. Through my organization, I aim to support people where they are, offering tools that translate scientific knowledge into practical, accessible guidance.

At Curious & Creative Lab, I focus on being a community health educator, transforming complex research into clear, meaningful resources and toolkits that help individuals take charge of their well-being.

In 2023, I authored  'Empowering Aging: Insights from Healthy Aging Seriesto support adults and seniors on their aging journey. My work is grounded in the belief that curiosity should never fade and that creativity can make every step toward better health more joyful.
