I edit manuscripts bound for scientific peer review and/or journal publication. I also edit dissertations, web content, packaging, patents, grant applications, and other academic papers for English usage. My focus has been on papers by investigators for whom English is not their first language.

I have multiple contracts, all under NDA, but have edited for biotech firms in the U.S. and China, WHO IARC, academic labs in the U.S. and China, hospital departments, and third-party editing services for major academic journals.
