Clark Scientific Editing

Editing by academics, for academics

Profile

My name is Catherine Clark and I established Clark Scientific Editing after observing firsthand the difficulty international colleagues had in expressing their research findings due to linguistic barriers. I am a native speaker of English from the United Kingdom. I obtained a BSc (Upper Second-Class Honours) and PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom (ranked in the world's top 100 universities) in 1989 and 1993, respectively, and have 13 years’ post-doctoral experience in the fields of Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, and Parasitology. I have considerable experience of writing and editing manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed international journals, gained throughout my academic career at the University of Glasgow (see below) and from working as an editor for International Science Editing and SAGE Publications. As I personally undertake all the editing assignments submitted to Clark Scientific Editing, I can guarantee that your manuscript will be edited to the highest possible standard.
