Services

Medical, biotech, and pharmaceutical documents are highly technical and specialized. Accurate, reliable translations are essential as inaccurate translations can invalidate protocols and processes, jeopardize production facility certification, or hinder a product’s regulatory status and marketing authorization, or even, in some cases, be life-threatening for patients. In such a regulated industry, accurate translations protect a key asset: your company’s reputation.

I specialize in the translation of medical, pharmaceutical, and biotech documents, including:

Batch Records

Case Report Forms (CRFs)

Clinical Study Protocols

Clinical Trial Reports

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Certificates

Informed Consent Forms/Documents (ICFs/ICDs)

Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC) Approvals and Correspondence

Investigator Brochures

Medical Device Vigilance Reports

Medical Interviews

Packaging and Labeling

Patient Records

Patient and Clinician Education Materials

Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs)

Work Instructions

I translate life science documents from French and Spanish into English (US and UK depending on the client’s needs). I deliver well-written documents that do not read like a translation and use translation memory software to maintain consistency in style and terminology for all clients. I will work with you to provide a translation that meets your needs. As such, expect me to ask questions about:

• The purpose of the text (what will the translation be used for?)

• The target audience (who will be reading the translation?)

• If there is any particular style guide that should be followed (AMA, APA, custom, etc.)

• Whether there are any other preferences (i.e. terminology used, English dialect, etc.)

You can expect full confidentiality. All files are stored on and backed up to encrypted drives. Nothing is left unprotected. For sensitive documents that cannot be sent via e-mail, I have access to a protected FTP server to transfer files back and forth.

Services I do not provide:

• Translation into French or Spanish from English

• Interpreting (spoken translation)

Since each project involves a different level of difficulty, and may require a different level of background research, my rates vary depending on the project type, subject matter, file format, and deadline. Please contact me at for a free, no-obligation quote. I will need to see any source materials before committing to any project.

Additional charges will be levied for special services such as rush delivery, translation from difficult-to-read materials (such as handwritten text or poor quality scans), or similar ancillary services. Small projects are subject to a minimum fee.

I currently accept payment in U.S. dollars, Euros, and U.K. pounds.
