USD 50 /hr

Scientific writer and consultant with more than 20 years of experience in writing, research and project management.

Profile Summary

After obtaining my PhD from the University of Heidelberg, Germany in 2004, I have spent more than ten years doing groundbreaking research in molecular microbiology. I authored and co-authored numerous highly-cited peer-reviewed publications and a book about human microbiomes. As a senior scientist, I coordinated multidisciplinary teams of researchers and managed projects with various stakeholders from industry, science and politics. My writing services include (but are not limited to): a) for scientists: systematic literature reviews, meta-analysis, grants, projects, tutorials, manuals; b) for non-scientists: popular articles, blogs, book chapters and similar. As consultant, I help clients to define their product or service, bringing their business to the next level.
