About AIM Biomedical & Dr. Agnella Izzo Matic
Hi, I'm Agnella (pronounced
on-YEL-la; it's Italian). I am a freelance
medical writer, scientific editor, and biomedical educator serving
healthcare innovators who want to illuminate their science advances.
How will I
help you?
I provide rapid service to researchers, physicians,
and healthcare companies to craft science documents with meticulous
attention to detail. Let me step in when you don't have the time or
expertise to compose a compelling, audience-appropriate message. I am
available for on-site work in Connecticut, Boston, and New York City.
What do
others say?
Clients praise my "consistent professionalism," "wonderful,
reader-friendly articles," and "clarity,
not dumbed-down content." Responses from my annual survey show that
100% of my clients would refer me to a colleague and work with me again.
Why me?
I am a curious STEM enthusiast (science, technology, engineering,
mathematics) with a passion for education and communicating science to
non-specialists. A native of Connecticut, I hold a Ph.D. in
Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University and a B.E.
in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University. I love finding
solutions to existing biomedical problems,
especially as it relates to therapeutic medical devices.
I transitioned from an academic research
position (Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology at the Feinberg School
of Medicine, Northwestern University) to medical writing to better
align my talents and my interests in STEM research. I hold an Essential
Skills certificate from the American Medical Writers
Association (AMWA).
With an internationally-recognized research
portfolio in biomedical engineering, I have authored 21
peer-reviewed publications and spoken at 29 scientific conferences.
My research has been featured in the press in Nature Photonics, MIT
Technology Review, and New Scientist, among others.
I fulfill my passion to support women in STEM and medical writing
professionals by being an active member of the American
Medical Writers Association, the Healthcare Businesswomen's
Association, the International
Society for Medical Publication
Professionals, and the Association
for Women in Science, where I contributed to the “Scientist of the
Month” column for the AWIS
Chicago
chapter.
Off hours, you can find me enjoying home-cooked food, especially
anything that goes well with Cholula. I get excited
when I can use my soldering iron to fix something. In a former life, I
loved to ride my sport-touring motorcycle.
Email me today
and tell me what you
want to learn about scientific publication. What is the biggest thing
you're struggling with? I'd love to hear from you.
