Freelance Medical Writer with 5+ years of experience

Profile Summary

I am a freelance medical writer and biologist with solid academic and professional experience in scientific writing, medical communication, and biomedical research. After more than ten years of postdoctoral research in pharmacology and neuroendocrinology at the University of Milan, I transitioned to a career as an independent medical writer, collaborating with agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and scientific societies. Core competencies: drafting original research articles, consensus papers, reviews, expert opinions, as well as scientific and linguistic optimization of manuscripts in Italian and English, including full submission packages for peer-reviewed journals.
