  Genetics\, Molecular Biology)\n- 13 years in the 
 Biotech and Pharmaceutical sector\nAND\n- Author o
 f 2 books: "The Epigenetic Revolution" and "Junk D
 NA"\n\nMost people working in biology are familiar
  with using model systems in the lab\, but sometim
 es we can use household pets to give us insights. 
  \nStarting with the tortoiseshell cat\, Nessa Car
 ey will guide us from a gene-based model of DNA in
 to the dynamic view of the genome\, focussing on t
 he 98% of so-called junk and the weird world of ep
 igenetics.\n\nBio:\nNessa Carey has a virology PhD
  from the University of Edinburgh and is a former 
 Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology at Imperial C
 ollege\, London. She worked in the biotech and pha
