About me

Medical Expertise. Linguistic Precision. Trusted Results.

I am Angela Bivol, MD, PhD, a certified medical doctor and certified linguist specializing in medical, pharmaceutical, public health, and clinical research translation. With more than two decades of experience in healthcare and medical statistics—and over 15 years as a professional translator—I bridge the gap between medicine and language with accuracy, clarity, and compliance.

My background as a haematologist, public health specialist, and medical statistics expert allows me to deliver translations that are not only linguistically correct, but also medically sound, terminology-accurate, and aligned with regulatory requirements.
I work with agencies, CROs, medical device companies, healthcare providers, e-commerce brands, and research institutions worldwide.

Specialized Translation Services for Medicine, Pharma & Research

Medical Translation

As a certified MD with extensive clinical and research experience, I provide specialized medical translations for hospitals, clinics, healthcare providers, medical software developers, and scientific institutions.
I translate documents such as discharge summaries, informed consent forms (ICFs), health questionnaires, IFUs, manuals, patient reports, clinical trial agreements, scientific journals, lab ranges, GMP papers, and medical apps/software.
Your content is translated with full adherence to medical standards, terminology precision, and patient safety principles.

Pharmaceutical Translation

I deliver high-accuracy translations for SmPC, PIL, labelling, pharmacovigilance documents, veterinary pharma, and regulatory content.
My work ensures clarity, consistency, and compliance with EMA, GMP, and local regulatory guidelines. Whether for human or veterinary pharma, I provide translations that support safe use and effective communication.

Clinical Trials Translation

Trained in clinical documentation and research communication, I translate materials for clinical trial protocols, agreements, patient materials, case review forms, eCOA and ePRO content, clinical data, and statistical reports.
With expertise in public health and medical statistics, I ensure terminology accuracy, readability, and compliance with international standards.

Linguistic Validation & Cognitive Debriefing

Few translators offer these niche, essential services. I provide linguistic validation, cognitive debriefing, reconciliation, third-party review, language sign-off, and linguistic quality assurance (LQA) for patient-reported outcomes and research questionnaires.
I ensure that translated questionnaires maintain conceptual equivalence and cultural accuracy—crucial for data reliability in global clinical research.

Interpreting & On-Site Support

I offer medical interpreting, including support during GMP inspections, clinician interviews, and patient recruitment. My medical background ensures accurate communication in sensitive and high-risk situations.

Localization, SEO & Digital Translation Services

Beyond medicine, I translate and localize marketing, websites, e-commerce content, SEO keyword research, metadata, voice-over audit, recording audit, and digital communications.
I adapt content to Romanian and Russian markets with cultural accuracy and effective search visibility.
