BioSciPons, at the interface of regulatory, medical affairs and communication

We are experts at translating complex science into precise and clear communication contents (e.g., Clinical Evaluation Reports, Technical files, Investigator Brochures, Medical Journal Manuscripts, Articles,...). Our aim is to explain the relevance and ramifications of a medical/biotechnology product or biomedical findings, while maintaining regulatory correctness and scientific acumen.

We bridge the gap between medical R&D, regulatory agencies, healthcare and users/consumers - hence our bridge as a logo.

To cross the bridge two things are needed:
  •  A high level of communication & writing skills,
  •  A deep understanding of medical science & regulations. 

As medical scientists & regulatory experts: we understand the complexity of the details. As communicators & journalists: we transform complex clinical data and translate it into a consistent, clear message that is tailored to each target audience (e.g., regulators, notified bodies, medical journal peer-reviewers, board executives, users/consumers/patients).

By using a "Thinking-outside-of-the-box" approach, we foresight the gaps in the clinical data and prepare the product for the "curve ahead". We not only want to cross the bridge, but drive a medical product forward on a straight highway of safety, efficacy and regulatory compliance.

BioSciPons works from any starting point for a customised service.
We personalise our services to fit the needs of each individual medical/biotechnology product.

About:
Catarina Carrão (aka Ana Catarina Ribeiro Carrão)

I worked in medical academic research for more than 15 years in different international institutions (e.g., Yale University). Throughout the years, I've authored several peer-reviewed medical articles, and was honoured to receive the European Science Slam award - a testimony of my creativity, enthusiasm and ability to communicate science to lay audiences. I'm is able to distill complex scientific ideas in a way that is both informative and entertaining.

In 2006, I was a Marie-Curie Early Stage Researcher (Universitätsmedizin Charité Berlin). In 2011, a Postdoctoral fellow at the Yale Cardiovascular Research Center (YCRC). In 2013, I was honoured Fellow of the American Heart Association (FAHA). In 2012, received the European Science Slammer title. And, in 2021 I was nominated Young Science Journalist of the Year by the Association of British Science Writers (ABSW).

My scientific expertise in neuroscience, cardiovascular, oncology, molecular biology and biostatistics allows me to understand the clinical writing needs of innovative medical devices; and, support manufacturers in navigating the regulatory waters of certification. 

I'm an active delegate of the Regulatory Affairs Professional Society (RAPS), the best way to have the latest insights on the global regulatory affairs landscape. 

In 2022, my work "Creativity in Regulatory Affairs" was selected for the RAPS annual conference. In 2023, I presented "How to use Total Product Life Cycle and Good Machine Learning Practice as your lighthouse when developing and deploying Artificial Intelligence-enabled Medical Devices" at the RAPS Euroconvergence 2023, in Amsterdam.

I'm also an accredited science and medical journalist by the World Federation of Science Journalists WFSJ and the Medical Journalist Association MJUK, with several authored articles in different media platforms.

Regulatory Science and policy are my interests, with a wish to see the field moving forward as a way to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of all medical-related products.
