English-to-Italian medical and scientific translations

I translate for CROs, pharmaceutical companies and research institutions throughout the life cycle of their projects: from clinical trials for new drugs and devices through to product marketing and regulatory documentation.

Specialised in translating for the medical and pharma industries, and continuing education, I can ensure safe and accurate translations aligned to regulatory requirements and your specifications.
Over time I specialised in several domains, such as oncology, orthopaedy, rare diseases, to name a few.

This helped develop my knowledge of technical standards, guidelines, specialised terminology – and helped me grasp the peculiarities and specific requirements of a broad range of medical and pharmacology-related documents.

  • Informed consent forms
  • Questionnaires and diaries for patients and healthcare professionals

    Maria Luisa Barbano has been working for our company as a freelance translator and, based on our cooperation thus far, I can recommend her services. She has provided translations of documents with medical content, such as package leaflets, labels and summary of product characteristics. Additionally, she reviewed the work of other translators working for us.

In addition, they mentioned that Maria Luisa Barbano was very knowledgeable in her field and they appreciated that she quickly reacts to requests and emails.

    Our professional paths crossed in April 2016. Since then, our cooperation with Maria Luisa – regarding the clinical research field – has become closer and closer, with mutual satisfaction.  Maria Luisa is clearly a mainstay of our translation team for her extreme accuracy and valuable cooperation for the translation of informed consent forms, protocol synopses and other essential documents for clinical trials. Team work means encourage each other to constantly improve, and grow together professionally through confrontation among peers. This is the kind of cooperation we have with Maria Luisa, and the reason why we really like working with her.

  • Aleksandra Wojtkun, vendor manager

    We have worked with Maria Luisa predominantly for a client operating in the photo editing/desktop publishing industry. The projects are challenging, as they require a combination of various types of expertise: UI localization, Mac terminology, field-specific terminology, as well as Passolo usage. Maria Luisa masters all of it. Apart from that, she is also reliable and friendly in communication. We are thus very satisfied with her work.
