How can I
help you?

 

English-to-Italian Medical 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 and 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.

Clinical Trials 

Pharmaceutical Industry

  • Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) and Package leaflets (PILs) according to EMA QRD templates
  • Packaging and labelling
  • Regulatory approval dossiers
  • Regulatory-related correspondence
  • Technical documentation and educational materials
  • Manufacturing-related documents and technical sheets (GMP)
  • Safety Data Sheets

Medical Devices & Diagnostics

  • MDR/IVDR-compliant IFUs for medical devices and laboratory equipment
  • Technical documentation for medical, surgical and diagnostic devices
  • Documents for device-related clinical trials
  • E-learning courses
  • Web sites and corporate documentation
Traduzioni Nutrizione speciale Alimentazione

Medical Nutrition and Foods for Special Medical Purposes

Translation of regulatory documentation, clinical guidelines, and scientific or educational materials related to medical nutrition and foods for special medical purposes (FSMPs). Content includes product information, labelling compliant with EU Regulation (EU) No 609/2013, and materials intended for healthcare professionals or patients with specific nutritional needs (e.g., diabetes, malabsorption, metabolic disorders, celiac disease).

 

 

Traduzioni Marketing E-learning

Marketing, e-Learning, Websites

Translation of web content, marketing materials, and educational resources for the medical, pharmaceutical, and specialised nutrition sectors. This includes corporate websites, scientific blogs, newsletters, product microsites, and training materials such as handouts, e-learning modules, videos, and presentation slides.

I support pharmaceutical companies, medical device and IVD manufacturers in creating accurate and engaging Italian content for healthcare professionals, internal teams, and patients. Each translation reflects both scientific accuracy and brand consistency, helping companies deliver clear, compliant, and medically reliable information across all communication channels, from professional education to digital marketing campaigns.

When asked, our project management team confirmed that they were satisfied with the cooperation and pointed out that all the projects were delivered within the time frames agreed upon. 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. As we received positive feedback from clients as well, I can recommend Maria Luisa Barbano as a translator and reviewer and wish her all the best for the future.

    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.
