Medical & Scientific Writer | Scientific Publications, Congress Support & Science Communication

Profile Summary

I am a medical and scientific writer specializing in scientific publications and research communication. I support researchers, scientific societies, and life science organizations in the preparation and editing of scientific manuscripts, review articles, and letters to the editor, ensuring clarity, consistency, and adherence to journal guidelines. I also provide scientific project management for medical congresses, coordinating abstracts, posters, presentations, and related materials. In addition, I write press releases and lay documents to translate complex scientific findings into clear, accessible content for non-specialist audiences. My work combines scientific rigor, strong organizational skills, and clear communication to support effective dissemination of research. More information is available at www.esterpiovesana.com.
