Gaurav Duvey

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Gaurav Dubey, M.S. He was a bright spark in this world and will be deeply missed by many. Gaurav’s family was unprepared for this unexpected loss, as are we here at Microdose. He touched the lives of so many and it’s our turn to give back to his family in their time of need.

We are raising money to help cover the costs of the funeral and memorial services for Gaurav’s family. Any excess money will be donated directly to the family to support them through this tragedy.

Gaurav was born in Jamshedpur, India; and also called the city of Chicago home. He’s survived by his mother Sangita Dubey, father Prabhash Dubey, and younger brother Saurav Dubey. The funeral will take place in the Bahamas, where Gaurav was located at the time of his passing. There will be a prayer at Gaurav’s family home in Chicago in October, followed by a service at Iskom Temple on October 26, 2021. All are invited to join in this celebration of Gaurav’s life.

Gaurav Dubey was a dynamic clinical biologist, evidence-based branding professional and entrepreneur with a passion for scientific writing and traveling the world. He earned a dual bachelor’s degree in biology and philosophy from the University of Miami in 2011 and his Master’s in Biotechnology from Rush University Medical Center in 2015. Gaurav was recently published as lead author in the world's leading transplant journal, The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, for a study investigating second-time lung re-transplantation.

He was passionate about psychedelic medicine and started as Senior Content Writer at Microdose in 2020, an opportunity he was very excited about. He was also the Founder & President of Karmik, LLC, an evidence-based branding firm for extraordinary life science brands.

The team at Microdose is hopeful that the incredible amount of amazing copy Gaurav has completed over the past year will be a lasting legacy and that his contributions can help change the lives of others. His efforts to explain and educate others on the science of psychedelics were incredible, and the results will live on for years to come.

Gaurav was a kind soul, never hesitating to throw himself into passion projects. One of his most recent pieces was a feature on how psychedelics can help the homeless.
