Medical Writer & Scientific Editor | Manuscript Review | Pediatrics, Infectious Diseases & Vaccines

Profile Summary

I help researchers, clinicians, and healthcare organizations communicate scientific findings clearly and accurately through medical writing, scientific editing, manuscript review, and literature review. My services include editing research manuscripts for language, structure, terminology, and scientific consistency; developing review articles, textbook chapters, and educational content; and reviewing research proposals and clinical study protocols. I preserve the author’s meaning and voice while strengthening clarity and readability. I bring more than 35 years of academic and research experience, with expertise in pediatrics, infectious diseases, vaccines, epidemiology, and global health. My editorial experience includes co-editing the American Academy of Pediatrics Red Book and serving as an associate editor of Infectious Diseases of the Fetus and Newborn Infant. I have authored scientific publications and textbook chapters and reviewed manuscripts for journals including The Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Pediatrics. My clinical and research background allows me to assess both the writing and the underlying scientific content, helping authors present their methods, findings, and interpretations precisely.
