Bio
🎯 Connecting with Italian-speaking clinicians, patients, and customers through clear, compliant, and compelling content goes beyond simple translation; it demands the right partner.
🔬 Over 15 years, I've built a practice where medical expertise, marketing, and language technology intersect. I collaborate with pharma, biotech, med-tech, CROs, healthcare startups, and medical communications agencies as a translator, transcreator, medical writer, and language consultant—also serving as the expert-in-the-loop who designs, oversees, and quality-ensures AI-assisted workflows. For high-stakes medical and regulatory content, I am the human responsible for accuracy, compliance, and cultural relevance, not just fluency.
💻 Beyond translation services, I develop language technology solutions for healthcare: I created Hermes Medica (hermesmedica.net), an AI-powered platform that translates medical content, explains complex terminology, and supports clinical decision-making for both professionals and patients, and Hermes Medica QA, a specialized tool for quality assurance in medical translation workflows.
💡 Transcreation deserves its own term. When your campaign, product page, or patient material needs to do more than translate into Italian, I reconstruct the message from the inside, preserving intent, tone, and brand voice while making it feel local. Content that only translates rarely persuades; in life sciences, persuasion and trust are essential.
✨ What this means for your projects:
✅ Accurate, consistent, and audit-ready clinical, regulatory, and medical device content in Italian
✅ Culturally resonant marketing and patient-facing copy—feeling, not word-for-word
✅ Linguistic validation and cognitive debriefing for instruments, labels, and patient-reported outcomes
✅ Hybrid workflows that combine human expertise and AI for speed and volume, with a senior specialist responsible for each output
✅ AI supervision, prompt engineering, and MT/LLM guardrails for organizations scaling language tech
✅ A strategic language consultancy for those seeking more than a vendor—a true partner who understands your market
If you have upcoming projects in medicine, the life sciences, or science-driven communication, I’d be happy to discuss how I can support you. Feel free to reach out.
