Doctor degree in Biological Sciences (at the Federico II University of Naples in 1999) and Ph.D. in Neuroscience (at the Second University of Naples), during my academic career I published 12 scientific articles in international journals, working on stem cells of the central nervous system. My solid scientific background (8 years of lab work as investigator) allows me to fluently manage scientific terminology, and I have a vast experience in medical translations.
My previous classical studies make me the ideal candidate for clients who need a high quality translation both in terms of technical terminology and in terms of accuracy, style, syntax and grammar.
After my Ph.D. I moved to Lisbon and decided to leave scientific investigation to begin working as a translator. Since, I collaborated as a free-lance with several translation agencies both in Italy and abroad.

I am specialized in scientific texts, ranging from biology to medical instruments, from pharmaceutics to chemistry and physics.
I always had a passion for languages and I have good skills in writing Italian (when I'm not dealing with translations, I like to write short stories and novels).

Main medical and scientific subjects translated:
- Informed consent documents, medical market research questionnaires, treatment guidelines, experimental protocols, clinical trials, surgical protocols.
