Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained Biochemist with over 25 years of experience in biomedical research, scientific publishing, and medical/regulatory writing. I have successfully developed grant proposals and secured funding from major agencies, including the NIH, WHO, PAHO, and IDRC, and have collaborated with research teams across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. My expertise includes crafting NIH-style grant applications, research strategies, scientific manuscripts, systematic reviews, study protocols, and clinical trial documents (protocols, CSRs, IBs, IND/BLA components). I have authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications, served as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator in multi-country studies, and supported biotech companies with clinical development and regulatory submissions. Bilingual in English and Spanish (and fluent in Italian), I also offer high-quality scientific editing and translation services. I specialize in transforming complex data and research concepts into clear, compelling narratives that align with funding agency expectations and scientific standards. I am committed to delivering rigorous, timely, and collaborative support for clients across academic, clinical, and biotech sectors.
