PhD | Strategic Scientific Writer | Grant & Technical Writer | Biotech & Startups

Profile Summary

I'm a PhD-trained scientific writer with over a decade of experience helping research-driven companies, startups, and academic teams secure funding, publish high-impact work, and communicate complex science clearly. I specialize in: Grant writing (EU Horizon, EIC, NIH, ISF, foundations) Scientific and medical manuscript editing Technical writing for regulatory submissions (e.g., FDA GRAS dossiers, supporting documentation) Business and investor-facing materials (pitch decks, one-pagers, business plans) With a strong background in life sciences, I bring both scientific accuracy and strategic clarity to every project. I focus on helping clients present their work convincingly — whether to grant reviewers, journal editors, or investors. My clients include early-stage biotech startups, foodtech companies, and academic researchers. I take pride in delivering work that is polished, persuasive, and tailored to its intended audience. Let’s work together to make your science stand out.
