Medical Communicator Dedicated to You And the People You Serve
Making Complex Medical and Clinical Trial Information Clear, Accurate, and Human
From Complexity to Clarity: Helping biotech, CROs, and healthcare communicate clinical trials and medical concepts clearly, accurately, and with confidence.
I support organizations in oncology, rare diseases, and clinical research in making complex medical and clinical trial information understandable – for professionals, patients, and global audiences.
Through strategic communication and MedTalks, I help reduce hesitation, strengthen trust, and support more confident participation in clinical trials.
Specialized in Oncology and Rare Disease Communication
Cancer and rare disease clinical trials require especially clear, sensitive, and precise communication.
I work with biotech companies, CROs, and healthcare organizations to communicate complex information in ways that are:
• Accurate and scientifically sound
• Understandable for diverse audiences – from HCPs to patients
• Sensitive to patient needs and concerns
• Supportive of informed participation
My work helps strengthen trust and engagement in clinical trials where communication matters most.
Making Medical Communication Clear, Human, and Multilingual
I'm Kathrin, a medical communicator with a background in clinical nursing and a passion for bridging the gap between science and people. Communication has always been at the heart of my work—first at the bedside, now through written words.
Today, I help healthcare, pharmacy and life science organizations connect with professionals and the public alike – across English, German, Latin and Swedish.
My services include:
- Medical Writing & SEO-Optimized Content
I create clear, audience-focused content – from clinical trial summaries and patient leaflets to web-friendly, SEO-aware medical articles that build trust and visibility. - Medical / Clinical Trial Translation
I translate a wide range of medical content – from patient leaflets to clinical trial content – with the precision of a healthcare insider and the nuance of a multilingual communicator. - Mentoring & Training
I guide new writers and translators in the field of medical communication, combining practical insight with personal support. As a conference speaker and tutor for internationally recognized platforms like TranslaStars, I share real-world knowledge drawn from both clinical practice and communication work—helping others grow with confidence and clarity in a complex field.
Why work with me?
Because I speak the language of healthcare – clinically, linguistically, and culturally. Whether you're looking to reach healthcare professionals, patients, or global markets, I bring clarity, compassion, and multilingual precision to your message.

What My Clients Say:
Hugo Cane | LingArch
“We started working with Kathrin back in 2024 when we were looking for someone reliable and experienced to work on medical projects for German language. From the get go, Kathrin showed all the characteristics we were looking for to work with someone to manage our workload. She is quick and response, friendly and easygoing and most of all, she is experienced in what she does, that is medical translation. We have collaborated on numerous projects, and she has never let us down. Moreover, she is always quick in delivering her work before the given deadline. We'd highly recommend Kathrin for medical projects requiring translation and medical writing in German.“

“Kathrin was my colleague in the general medical practice of Ms Bettina Tailliere. She was a great support to me there when it came to English-language medical reports, as well as documents that had to be translated into German or translated from German into English. Kathrin's knowledge of English is excellent, and she is very familiar with medical terminology in both languages. Both English and German sentence structure and phrasing are effortless for Kathrin, and she has a confident command of them.”
