Charlotte Barker

After studying biology at Imperial College London, I got my start in biomedical publishing as a commissioning editor for healthcare journals. I have spent my career covering everything from early-stage research to clinical medicine, so I know how important it is to build bridges between basic and clinical research. As Editor of The Translational Scientist, I help researchers and clinicians share their stories in vibrant and engaging content that reflects their passion and hard work.
