Medical Communications is operated by Kara Nyberg, PhD, who has
specialized in medical and health-related science writing since 2003.
A scientist by training but a writer at heart, medical writing embodies the perfect blend of two of my passions. I embarked on this career after discovering the hard way—by attending graduate school—that learning about science and doing science are vastly different endeavors. Preferring the former to the latter, I became a freelance medical writer so that I can still learn about science and medicine while also sharing this knowledge with others.
My fluency in an array of medical topics stems from my graduate training at the University of Arizona. While there, I secured a grant from the Department of Defense that funded my research investigating the yeast homolog of human BRCA1, a gene implicated in hereditary forms of breast and ovarian cancers. This scientific training, along with my education in molecular and cellular biology in general, lends itself very well to understanding the pathophysiology and management of various diseases and disorders.
Always inspired by a challenge and the opportunity to expand the breadth of my knowledge, I welcome projects in all medical disciplines, including those outside my areas of expertise. I am adept at quickly familiarizing myself with new medical topics.
