Good training on Reviewing Practices. Especially for people which are involved in writing, reviewing and/or developing (clinical trial) documents.

A course by

Thary Jacob

Currently, I’m a motivated specialist medial writer at Emtex Life Science.

I studied biomedical sciences at the University of Ghent, mastered in immunology and did a PhD at the laboratory for veterinary animal sciences in Merelbeke on alphaherpesviral spread, triggered by interesting research along my path.

While I enjoyed doing this, I wanted to be closer to patients in my career path, which is why I chose to go to the industry. I wanted to be near the end, the patient, the finalized stage - to contribute to telling the story. Medical writer seemed the perfect job for me, and I haven’t had any regrets during the past 8 years that I’m a medical writer at Emtex.
