Monica Payton is starting her 4th and final year of law school and is on pace to earn a Juris Doctor degree in 2010 enabeling her to sit for the California Bar Examination July, 2010. Monica is looking to merge her illustrious career in medicine, as a physician assistant and novelist, with a budding legal career intended to focus on biomedical, biotechnical research involving human subjects, reproductive choice, and translational genomics. With the proper exposure she hopes to participate in policy debates, advise research institutes or federal agencies.
It was her fascination with biomedical research and genomics, immediately following announcement of completion of the Human Genome Project in 2002, that lead Monica to pen two medical thrillers, Black Deception and the sequel, Cloning. Through her novels, she hopes to stir healthy discussion amongst her peers while educating them on the topics.
