Writing and translation
of medical and scientific texts
Scientific writing courses for researchers

More than words

Scientific writing and translation should be of the same excellent standard that one would expect from high quality research in a scientific laboratory. My university studies of biochemistry and translation form the basis for excellent results.

Services

Final rates are determined on a case-by-case basis. I charge workshops as daily rates.

Writing

My extensive experience in writing abstracts, publications and grant proposals could greatly help you in writing yours. I also offer help with writing White Papers for complex matters (in different languages). Rate calculation is made by the hour and depends on the topic of the text and in which language the text was written.

Translation

Nearly every format (doc, xls, ppt, pdf, txt, inx, html) is possible, including electronic media, e.g. webpages. Translation, Reviewing, Editing by at least two experienced translators. The translation will read better than the original.

Workshops

I give workshops for scientific writing. Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, MHH Hannover, MPI for Marine Microbiology and Excellence Cluster iFIT Oncology Tübingen are among my regular clients. Researchers from different academic backgrounds learn to write convincing introductions, discussions and abstracts. Emphasis is placed on writing conventions, argument structure and expression, including the clever use of AI. Examples and practical exercises enrich the two- or more-day workshops. Groups have a maximum of 12 participants.

Why me?

I have a strong scientific background and consider myself an expert on scientific texts, including those in the fields of medicine and pharmacology. Further studies on literature, art and sociology enhanced my background so that I can deliver the “between the lines” meanings that are particularly important in non-technical texts. Do not hesitate to approach me with works from different fields. I am happy to help and to deliver a high-quality product.
