LIFE SCIENCES & MEDICAL TRANSLATION SERVICES
For over 30 years, Lingua Graphica Translations has provided life-sciences and medical translation services to biotech companies, pharmaceutical firms, hospitals, and healthcare providers — including long-term work with Genzyme and with the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) of leading teaching hospitals such as Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.
In this field, excellent linguistic skills are not enough: a mistranslated informed consent form or drug labeling can have serious human and regulatory consequences. Our life-sciences and medical translators are selected for their subject-matter expertise, with at least ten years of experience, formal training in their field, or both. The result: reliable, accurate translations in every life-science and medical text — with every project personally overseen from start to finish.

Clinical Research
From screening to final study results, our life-sciences team supports every phase of a research study with accurate translation, review, and linguistic validation — including patient questionnaires, informed consent forms, study documents, and regulatory submissions.
Regulatory Affairs
Leading biotech and pharmaceutical companies have relied on Lingua Graphica for their FDA submissions, clinical trial protocols, product packaging, labels, and inserts — documentation where terminology must be exact and consistent across every language.
Biotech & Pharmaceutical
When pharmaceutical companies conduct clinical studies in the United States, their documentation must reach patients and investigators in multiple languages. Our careful Translation and QA process helps ensure the accuracy, consistency, fast turnaround times, and cost control these companies require.
IRB Documentation
Lingua Graphica works side-by-side with the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) of leading hospitals, helping them prepare research forms, informed consent documents, patient materials, and other documentation required for multilingual clinical studies.
Health Care Providers
From marketing collateral to insurance coverage documents and Evidence of Coverage (EOC) materials, we deliver translations that patients and plan members can clearly understand in their own language. Each document is carefully formatted by our DTP specialists to match the original design, with layout and graphic elements adjusted when necessary to meet the requirements of the target language.

Medicare and Medicaid
Ensuring that your EOC documentation is Section 508-compliant from the start saves you time and money and helps avoid costly rework. For over 30 years, Lingua Graphica has helped leading healthcare providers translate their Evidence of Coverage (EOC) documents into the languages required under applicable U.S. federal guidelines for Medicare and Medicaid communications.
Spanish for U.S. Patients
Informed consent forms, patient communications, and Evidence of Coverage documents must be clearly understood by the patients and plan members who sign them. For the nearly 45 million people who speak Spanish at home in the United States, that means U.S. Spanish — not generic “neutral Spanish.” It is an area where Lingua Graphica brings decades of specialized expertise.
