BJD Tech Writing aims to offer excellent writing and editing services for life sciences, biotech, and medical devices.

After obtaining a PhD in biology, I have been honing my skills as a science and technical writer for almost 15 years. I have written for research institutes, biotech companies, medical device manufacturers, and in vitro diagnostic companies.

Get your scientific message across clearly and accurately.

I have created a wide range of deliverables, including:

• Regulatory labeling (Instructions For Use and package inserts).
• Medical device user manuals.
• Manufacturing SOPs, work instructions, and technical reports.

I also have a working knowledge of labeling requirements (FDA 21 CFR 801) and quality regulation and standards (FDA 21 CFR 820; ISO 13485). I have supported Quality and Regulatory Affairs teams.

Other projects I have worked on:

• Migration of documents between electronic quality management systems (EQMS).
• Scientific manuscripts and poster abstracts.
• Slide decks on topics of diabetes and endocrinology for diverse audiences: med students, patient groups, symposia, and philanthropic organizations.
• Substantive editing and copy editing of 10+ textbooks including two medical textbooks.
• Online content and search engine optimization/search engine marketing.
