Bio
Medical Freelance Czech<>English translator
Understading the text leads to correct translation

Translation experience:
. Hospital patient reports
. SPCs, PILs
. Clinical trial documentation
. Regulatory pharmaceutical affairs
. Medical devices
. Laboratory techniques

Background:

Until recently, I had worked in a biomedical research laboratory at a Canadian university. I authored and co-authored scientific manuscripts on atherosclerosis, kidney disease, lung disease and immunohistochemistry in peer-reviewed science journals. I have good understanding of scientific and medical terminology and concepts which leads to correct translation.

I had lived in Czechoslovakia for 33 years, graduated as Dipl. Engineer (equivalent to MSc) from the School of Chemical Technology in 1974, passed the State exam in English at the School of Languages in Prague, in 1968, earned a PhD degree in Biochemistry from the Czech Academy of Science in 1996.


I have been translating medical, pharmaceutical, scientific and clinical trial documents for 4 years. I have completed 53 translation and editing projects.
