Experimental Heart: A Novel by Jennifer L. Rohn
Experimental Heart is an engaging romantic thriller set against the backdrop of contemporary scientific research. It is written by Dr. Jennifer Rohn, a cell biologist at University College London and founder and editor of LabLit.com, an online magazine devoted to lab culture and fiction.


Andy O'Hara, a post-doctoral researcher in a London cancer research institute, agrees to help an attractive colleague, Gina, who is collaborating with a pharmaceutical company. She is working on a virus-based vaccine but has discovered the company is planning a clinical trial of the vaccine in Africa without preliminary animal tests. Andy gets a tip-off that Gina's corporate collaborator has a shady past, but also discovers a scientific reason why the vaccine may be doomed to failure. As this excerpt begins, Andy and his friend Christine have helped Gina set up an illicit mouse experiment in their own animal facility, a move that could end all their careers if discovered.
