Alexandra Schirmacher

I hold a PhD in Molecular Biology with research experience in both academic and industrial settings — from genetic engineering of photosynthetic bacteria to molecular diagnostics of plant pathogens.

I now help life scientists communicate their research more effectively through manuscript concept development and scientific editing.

🔹 Concept Development

I work with you to clarify the central claim of your paper, map how your findings support it, and build a clear, bullet-point manuscript structure. I can also suggest title directions and figure concepts that highlight your message.

🔹 Editing

Already have a draft? I refine your manuscript for clarity, flow, and readability. This includes language editing (German or English), tightening arguments, and polishing abstracts and titles so your paper lands with impact.

Whether you’re at the start of writing or polishing a nearly finished draft, I can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
