Medical & Scientific Editor | Clinical, Life Sciences & Biomedical Research Specialist

Profile Summary

I am a freelance medical and scientific editor with extensive experience supporting academic researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals across the life sciences and biomedical fields. I currently work with Cactus Communications, providing high-quality editorial services for manuscripts intended for submission to international peer-reviewed journals. My expertise includes substantive editing, language polishing, structural refinement, and journal-specific formatting for original research articles, reviews, case reports, research letters, and cover letters. I regularly work across clinical medicine, molecular biology, oncology, regenerative medicine, nutrition and food science, pharmacology, and translational research. I have a strong understanding of journal expectations, reporting standards, and publication ethics, and I focus on improving clarity, coherence, scientific accuracy, and native-level academic tone while preserving the authors’ intended meaning. My background in food science and laboratory-based research allows me to engage critically with data, methods, and results, ensuring manuscripts are both scientifically rigorous and publication-ready. I am comfortable working with tight deadlines, complex multidisciplinary content, and international authors, and I pride myself on clear communication, attention to detail, and consistency across documents.
