Elke Binder Translations & Science Writing

Welcome to my website!

I am an English to German translator and science journalist specializing in the life sciences, biotechnology, medicine and pharmacy. I translate texts for translation agencies, companies and magazines and I write articles for newspapers, magazines and academic institutions.

As a translator I have the expertise you need to get your scientific or medical translation right: I hold an advanced degree in biology from the Humboldt-University of Berlin, Germany, and a university certificate in science journalism from the Free University of Berlin. I have been working for many years with the German and English language on a wide array of topics from science and medicine. Over the years I have acquired excellent writing skills and a profound knowledge of the terminology in my specialist areas.

As a journalist I love to share my fascination with science and to write compelling stories about complex topics for a lay or expert audience. I write for major German newspapers, magazines and academic institutions about science made in the US and Germany.

I translate from English into my native language German and I write mostly in German. I have been living in the US for 16 years and am fluent in English.

I am looking forward to hearing from you! office@elke-binder.com
