About Me

Hi! I am Ana and I am a medical and scientific writer with 15 years of experience in the life science industry. My focus is communicating complex topics into simple ideas with the art of storytelling, clear graphs and designs, and evidence-based information. I am a scientist by training, currently based in Italy, with other work experience in Brazil and Germany.

I am a PhD in medical biochemistry with a therapy focus on metabolism, neuroscience, and rare diseases, particularly mitochondrial diseases. Since 2022, I have been part of the editorial team of the European research community. In 2023, I acted as a science ambassador for eLife, and I launched RADI, a monthly newsletter non-profit initiative to raise rare diseases’ awareness and shed light on the rare disease community. 

My wealth of knowledge, research skills, and scientific communication abilities produce accurate, well-structured, and informative documents. My interdisciplinary and multicultural background makes my approach unique, open-minded, and creative. I am confident I can contribute to your company by disseminating better scientific information and improving patient care.
