Nessa Carey is the author of The Epigenetics Revolution (2011)[1][2] and Junk DNA: A Journey Through the Dark Matter of the Genome (2015),[3] and former Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology at Imperial College London.[4] She is also a contributor to The Huffington Post.[5]

Career

In 2001 Carey joined Vernalis, in 2004 moved into oncology and epigenetics drug discovery, as Head of Biology for TopoTarget before joining CellCentric in June 2006. As of 2015 she is director of exploratory research at Cellcentric.[6] Carey has had work published in Current Opinion in Pharmacology,[7] Nature Genetics,[8] Genomics,[9] Molecular Cancer Therapeutics,[10] Drug Discovery Today,[11] Human Molecular Genetics,[12] and others.

Her popular nonfiction publications include The Epigenetics Revolution (2011) and Junk DNA: A Journey for the Dark Matter of the Genome (2015). The Epigenetics Revolution "provides an excellent introduction" to the field of epigenetics, according to Library Journal.[13] Carey surveys the field of epigenetics in the book, exploring how changes in the environment can affect offspring, or how feeding honeybee larva royal jelly turns them into queens.[14] She also discusses methylation, imprinting, noncoding RNA, and other diverse topics in The Epigenetics Revolution.[15] Alexander Badyaev, writes that "you cannot help but admire the author who is so fluent in such a great diversity of topics."[15]
