I am a native German speaker with a PhD in Biology from the Max-Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Munich, and a Postdoc from the LMB/MRC in Cambridge. I bring over a decade of professional experience working at the intersection of science and communication in the UK life sciences sector.
My translation work sits at the crossroads of two things I do fluently: science and language. With a research background spanning molecular biology and biochemistry, and eight years of professional experience in scientific business development - communicating complex technical concepts to diverse audiences across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and internationally - I bring both linguistic precision and genuine scientific understanding to every translation.
I translate between German and English in the life sciences, biology, biochemistry, and medical fields. Unlike translators who rely on terminology databases alone, I understand the science behind the text - the context, the nuance, and the terminology that a subject matter expert would use naturally.
Based in Cambridge, UK, I work with research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and translation agencies on scientific papers, research articles, regulatory documents, and technical materials.
