Our team
Our team is composed of senior scientific and medical writers, all of whom have a PhD and have published articles in major scientific and medical journals (Brain, Gastroenterology, the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Nature, Neuron, Nucleic Acids Research, Pain, etc.). Our medical writers have international experience (Imperial College London UK, National Institute for Medical Research, NIMR/MRC, London, UK), are native English speakers or are based in the USA: all are bilingual and write high-quality scientific documents in French or English. We also provide a medical article translation and scientific paper translation service, with all French to English translations and English editing services being quality controlled by native English speakers. In addition, we work with native German and Spanish speaking translators and scientific writers.
Our scientific and medical writers are committed to a program of continued professional development with the AMWA (American Medical Writing Association) and the EMWA (European Medical Writers Association), keeping their knowledge up-to-date across all the different areas of medical and regulatory writing practice (Good Clinical Practice, ethical considerations in clinical trials, European Directives for clinical trials, and preparation of Common Technical Documents [CTDs] and other regulatory documents for drugs and medical devices, as well as statistics, graphical presentation of data, etc.).
We also work with our own network of medical experts, who are leaders in their field (cardiology, oncology, endocrinology, ENT, nutrition, rheumatology, pulmonology, allergy, pediatrics, etc.) and who bring with them their extensive medical expertise.
If you are looking for a medical writer in France, the UK, or the USA, do not hesitate to contact us.
