Berthoud, Colorado, United States, December 22, 2024 — Bridging Science and Storytelling

After decades as Chief Scientist at renowned institutions like Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Christer Jansson has turned his focus to fiction. His debut novel, Genes of the Past, combines his deep scientific knowledge with a narrative that challenges readers to confront the implications of scientific progress.

“Science allows us to uncover truths about our world, but fiction provides a way to engage with the consequences of those truths,” said Jansson. “With Genes of the Past, I wanted to create a story that sparks curiosity and reflection about where science can take us.”

The novel explores the potential and peril of genetics research, weaving a gripping tale that merges cutting-edge science with questions of morality, identity, and human connection.

A Thought-Provoking Exploration of Genetic Discovery

Genes of the Past invites readers into a world where breakthroughs in genetics unveil profound truths about humanity’s origins. The story delves into ethical quandaries as characters grapple with how scientific innovation can redefine society.

Jansson’s ability to present complex scientific concepts in an engaging and accessible manner reflects his expertise as a former researcher and his skill as a storyteller. Having authored numerous successful grant proposals and peer-reviewed articles, Jansson transitions seamlessly into fiction, crafting a narrative that appeals to both science enthusiasts and general readers alike.

A Scientist’s Journey to Fiction

Christer Jansson’s career in science spanned decades, during which he led advancements in genomics and molecular research. Retirement offered an opportunity to pursue his lifelong passion for creative writing, and Genes of the Past marks the culmination of that transition.

“Fiction has given me a platform to explore not only the possibilities of science but also the emotional and ethical dimensions of discovery,” Jansson shared.

Jansson’s professional experiences serve as a rich foundation for the novel’s authenticity, while his personal interests, including cooking, chess, and hiking in the Rocky Mountains, bring relatable warmth to his characters and settings.

Expanding His Creative Vision

Jansson is already working on a second novel, continuing his exploration of the intersection between science, ethics, and storytelling. His commitment to creating thought-provoking narratives remains central to his new career as an author.
