My name is Melanie Colegrave. I am an experienced medical writer and editor currently based in Lincoln in the UK.
My background is basic research into the mechanisms of various diseases.
My main areas of experience are cardiac disease, muscle disease, cell biology, wound care, and diabetes. These interests have developed from my PhD studies and more than 10 years of research at the Royal Veterinary College London and the University of Leeds in the UK.
However, since becoming a freelance medical writer I have enjoyed expanding my knowledge of other areas, such as liver diseases, fertility, and surgical techniques. I am always excited to learn about new research areas, this is one of the things that makes my work so interesting.
I am also a member of the European Medical Writers Association and continue to develop my professional skills by attending their workshops.
