@haralabospapatheodor
Radiologist (MD) providing expert English-Greek medical translation | 22+ yrs experience | Precision-driven translation for the Life Sciences industry
What I'm looking for
Clinical Authority in English-Greek Medical Localization
In the high-stakes sectors of Life Sciences, MedTech, and Regulatory Affairs, clinical validation is a requirement, not an option. I am a Certified Radiologist (MD, MSc, PhD) and specialized Life Sciences Translator providing English into Greek translation, terminology management, and linguistic consultancy for Pharmaceuticals, Medical Device manufacturers, CROs, and MedComms agencies.
Objective Qualifications & Clinical Foundation
My linguistic precision is rooted in an 8-year clinical career within the Greek healthcare system, providing the technical oversight necessary for scientific integrity.
Consultant-Level Expertise: One year as a Consultant Radiologist, following a 6-year residency at Metaxa Cancer Hospital, specializing in oncology and diagnostic imaging.
Frontline Medicine: One year as a Primary Care Physician, informing the development of patient-facing materials that are ethically sound and culturally appropriate.
Academic Credentials: An MSc in Basic Medical Sciences and PhD in Breast Cancer Pathology, ensuring research-heavy documents (CSRs, Protocols) meet rigorous academic standards.
Specialized Solutions for Life Sciences
1. Clinical Research & CRO Support
I clinically validate Protocols and Informed Consent Forms (ICFs). My primary care experience allows me to bridge the gap between technical complexity and "Plain Language" for patients, ensuring compliance with the Greek National Organization for Medicines (EOF).
2. Regulatory Affairs & Pharma
I provide expert localization for SmPCs, Package Leaflets (PL), and Labelling, adhering strictly to EMA/EOF templates. My background ensures pharmacological mechanisms and contraindications are rendered with absolute accuracy.
3. Medical Devices & MedTech (MDR/IVDR)
For technical agencies and manufacturers, I localize IFUs, Surgical Guides, and Software UI. My specialized training in Radiology allows me to handle the technical nomenclature of imaging hardware with the precision of an end-user.
Ensure your scientific message maintains its clinical integrity in the Greek market.
