The person behind inSciCom

Science is my
starting point.

Muhammad Shahbaz
PhD · Scientific & medical writing support

I am a scientist with a PhD from the University of Göttingen in Germany and research experience at SLU, Lund University and Stockholm University. My background in microbial ecology and environmental science has given me years of experience analysing evidence, publishing research and explaining complex findings.

At Camurus, I gained practical experience in clinical and regulatory writing, document quality review and clinical trial disclosure. My healthcare data work in Copenhagen adds a further perspective on data quality, structured information and the needs of pharmaceutical clients.

Through inSciCom, I bring these experiences together to help clients produce clear scientific documents, make sense of their data and keep demanding projects organised.
