About me

My name is Chiara Pallotti and I am an Italian freelance translator based in Genoa, Italy.

I am an experienced medical translator

Thanks to my work experience in one of the most important pediatric hospitals in Italy, I have acquired specific expertise in medical translation and pharmaceutical translation.

I am an Italian freelance translator with a degree in Technical and Scientific Translation from the University of Genoa, Italy.

I am an expert in medical translation, from English and Spanish into Italian. In particular, I translate clinical trial documents (study protocols, informed consent, investigator agreeements, etc.) and drug approval documentation (EMA/AIFA regulatory documents).

Furthermore, since 2009 I have been working at the G. Gaslini pediatric hospital in Genoa for an international research network. This allowed me to cultivate an interest in medicine and biology and to offer a highly specialized translation service in this area.

To date, I have translated nearly 4 million words.
