Welcome to my profile!

I'm
a Uruguayan Pharmaceutical Chemist and I have been working as a
freelance translator (EN-ES) for regional and international
pharmaceutical companies for the past 7 years. I started learning
english from a very young age and got a posgraduate degree in
translation in 2015 (Instituto Metodista Universitario Crandon,
Uruguay). I strive to merge my passion for science with my knowledge of
translation.

 I
provide scientifically accurate translations for the pharmaceutical
industry and the regional research community. Most of my translation
experience has been on pharmaceutical documents (CTDs, SmPCs, PILs and
others), which for registration purposes in Latin America. I've also
translated documents concerning clinical trials and medical instruments,
as well as manuscripts on topics ranging from molecular biology,
structural elucidation, immunology to sensory evaluation of foods.

 Additionally,
I have been part of a number of biomedical research projects and worked
for the chemical and food industries. This background provides me with
valuable insight when working on translation projects related to
life-sciences or the industry.

 I'm also a co-author of 4 scientific publications (links below) and remain in touch with the academic research community.
