Where I fit in

You need another scientific set of eyes

Before a post, module, webpage or product explanation goes live.

You need the research translated

Into education your customers, patients or stakeholders can actually use.

You need to keep up with the field

Without someone on your team spending hours every week reading papers.

What I do

How I can help you

Four ways I put the science to work for your team. Every project starts with a free discovery call.

  • Scientific review

    Review health claims, educational content, AI-assisted drafts and product language against the underlying evidence before they go live.

  • Research & evidence

    Literature searches, evidence synthesis and ongoing monitoring of new research relevant to your company.

  • Product & audience education

    In-app modules, explainers, FAQs, patient/user education, articles and other places where your audience encounters the science.

  • Scientific content

    Whitepapers, articles, decks, infographics, newsletters and social content built from the evidence rather than added afterward.

When teams bring me in

  • We use AI to help draft content, but someone still needs to check the science.
  • Our expert reviews things when they can, but we need scientific input more consistently.
  • We want to educate our users, but don't want to overstate what the research says.
  • There is too much new research for us to keep up with.

Worked with

How I work

What working together usually looks like

  1. 1

    First, we talk.

    We talk about what you're building, who needs to understand it, and where the science currently lives. Papers, internal data, existing drafts, half-formed ideas. All of it is useful. I ask a lot of questions.

  2. 2

    I send a scope.

    You get a short proposal with the deliverables, timeline, and fee. I like things to be clear before the writing starts.

  3. 3

    I get into the science.

    Depending on the engagement, that might mean reading the literature, reviewing existing content, developing a draft, checking claims, or working through recommendations with your team. Sources stay easy to trace. For longer projects, I send updates along the way. I don't like disappearing until the deadline, and I assume you don't either.

  4. 4

    We revise.

    Two rounds of revision are included. I read edits carefully. I'll also push back if the science doesn't support a requested change, because that's part of what you're hiring me for.

  5. 5

    I deliver.

    You get the final files in the format you need, with citations, source lists, and version history if useful.

Curious how I think before you commit to a call? I post on LinkedIn about FDA approvals, biotech news, and the translation problems in science writing. Follow along →

Most projects start as one piece of work.

But if you need scientific support more than once:

  • We can work together on a project basis, or
  • I can support teams on an ongoing basis with scientific review, research monitoring, educational content and new questions as they come up.

Post-Reproductive Ovaries Become Immune-Like and Inflammatory in Mice

A new mouse study suggests that post-reproductive ovaries remain molecularly active, developing increasingly immune-like and inflammatory features. I break down what the study found, what remains unknown, and what it could mean for understanding ovarian aging beyond fertility.

Can Exercise Delay Ovarian Aging? New Research on Adiponectin and Ovarian Reserve

A new mouse study in Nature Aging explores whether physical activity could help slow ovarian aging. I break down the mouse data linking exercise, adiponectin, mTOR signaling, and ovarian reserve, and what the findings may and may not mean for human fertility.

From the lab bench to the page

I'm a PhD-trained biomedical scientist: chemistry at IISER Bhopal, a PhD at the University of Chicago, a postdoc at Harvard Medical School. Three fields taught me one thing: how to close the gap between the page and the person reading it.

Testimonials

Jainu supported a medical book project on vascular aging by leading the literature research, organizing references, and preparing high-quality scientific figures in BioRender. What stood out most was her reliability. She was responsible with deadlines, proactive with follow-ups, and quick to adapt revisions as the project evolved. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable researcher and medical writer.
Dr. Matthew O'ConnorCEO, Cyclarity Therapeutics
Dr. Jainu Ajit played a critical role in our research and development, from the ground up through to our peer-reviewed paper on ScienceDirect. She pulls from chemical biology, drug delivery, immunology, and nutraceutical science, and turns complex findings into clear, publication-ready content. Her writing was sharp, well-structured, and always on time. She knows how to communicate to both technical and non-technical audiences without losing accuracy, which is exactly what you want in a medical writer.
