Work Experience
I specialize in medical translation, with a focus on healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and life sciences.
After graduating from university, I worked for a major Japanese pharmaceutical company (Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation), where I managed the translation department and involved in medical and pharmaceutical translation for 17 years. In 2016, I started my own translation business specializing in the medical and pharmaceutical fields.
Over the past 25 years, including my time in the translation department of the pharmaceutical company, I have translated numerous medical and pharmaceutical documents. My experience working for the pharmaceutical company helped me to gain knowledge of a wide variety of pharmaceutical documents from research to post-marketing, including pharmaceutical study reports, scientific papers, non-clinical and clinical study reports, various technical documents such as regulatory filings, post-marketing surveillance documents, presentation materials, and press release materials.
My education and professional experience above enable me to provide high-quality translations.
My clients include major Japanese pharmaceutical companies, universities, research institutes, hospitals, CROs, and government agencies.
