Scientific Consultant & Medical Writing, Freelance Statistician & Data Analyst, with 17+ Years Experience

Profile Summary

I am a Medical Writer and Scientific Consultant with over 17 years of experience in clinical research, scientific writing, and biostatistical analysis across multiple medical specialties, including reproductive medicine, women’s health, endocrinology, and broader areas of clinical and translational research. My work covers the entire research lifecycle, from study design and protocol development to advanced statistical analysis, interpretation, and publication** in peer-reviewed journals. I support clinicians, research groups, and healthcare organizations in transforming complex clinical and real-world data into robust, publication-ready scientific evidence. I have led and supported large retrospective and prospective studies involving clinical outcomes, biomarkers, hormonal exposure, imaging-based assessments, genetic and laboratory data, and patient-level datasets. My analytical expertise includes generalized linear and mixed-effects models, survival analysis, causal inference frameworks, propensity score methods, and machine-learning approaches, with a strong emphasis on reproducible workflows in R. In parallel, I provide medical writing and editorial services, including original research articles, systematic and narrative reviews, abstracts, research protocols, and responses to peer reviewers, in accordance with international reporting guidelines. My work supports submissions to international journals and presentations at major scientific meetings across medical disciplines. With a background that integrates clinical research methodology, data science, and scientific communication, I act as a strategic scientific advisor, helping multidisciplinary teams ensure methodological rigor, clarity of interpretation, and alignment with regulatory and publication standards.
