"Alle Ding sind Gift und nichts ohn Gift; allein die Dosis macht, das ein Ding kein Gift ist." (Paracelsus, 1493-1541) All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose makes a thing be poison.

🔬 Science Writer & PKPD Specialist

Hi! I’m Dr. Simon Lowe, a science writer and co-director of It’s All in the Dose. I specialise in medical communications and PKPD modelling. My primary focus is helping pharmacometricians translate their complex data, models, and research into high-quality scientific papers that are clear, accurate, and ready for publication in leading journals. This includes every step of the process, from drafting to structuring manuscripts to navigating journal submission requirements.

Beyond publishing support, I also provide expertise in creating a wide range of medical communications deliverables, such as regulatory reports, marketing content, and educational materials. With over a decade of writing experience and collaborations with industry experts like MMV and LYO-X AG, I ensure that every project I take on is tailored to meet the unique needs of both scientific and commercial audiences.

In addition to scientific & medical communications, I also do copywriting for digital marketers, particularly those with healthcare clients.

Location & Availability

I’m located in Essington, a village just 15 minutes north of Wolverhampton, but I can be in Birmingham central within the hour on a good day! 

I’m within driving distance of Oxford and Manchester as well, if given forewarning, and am happy to take the train down to London also, but to be honest, most of my clients at the moment are abroad anyway, usually in either Switzerland or the U.S., and I have my own office, so typically work remotely! I will also fly if the pay is worth it and I have nothing else conflicting with it in my schedule. 

My workflow, like any freelancer, can be quite variable, so I’d suggest a quick introductory chat just before starting anything to go over what it is that you need, the level your research is at, the deadlines and regulatory frameworks you are working with, and how much you want from me, and I can then give you an accurate quote. 

You can learn more about my services and rates by accessing the side panel on your left, as well as links (where I have them) to prior works, such as my PhD, medical writing collaborations on scientific papers as well as my copywriting portfolio, my qualifications, more about me, my blog, and other contact details should you need them. 

I’m usually at my desk 9-5 during the week and aim to respond within the day upon receiving a new message, after that I tend to head downstairs to engage with my other job, i.e. parenting! 

Looking forward to hearing from you! 

Testimonials

"I have worked with Simon on two articles in my previous job. He helped us to improve the articles by using better english and cutting down the word count without affecting the scientific meaning."
Dr. Mohammed Cherkaoui-Rbati
Principal Scientist at Roche
"Simon is a pleasure to work with - he is highly knowledgeable, very reliable in hitting deadlines, and has clear, transparent communication at all stages of the project. He has brought value to our content creation and has an expert eye for medical projects. The quality and standard of his writing require minimal editing, showing a keen eye for detail and research skills."
Bex Gawne
Content Manager at Click Intelligence Ltd
"He is one of a kind. Within a few moments of speaking to him, you will quickly realize he is a genius, but often times geniuses aren’t able to achieve the necessary social skills to exploit this. Simon does; he is such a diplomat. He is a great listener, and is always ready to take the blame even when something is not his fault. He is wonderful to work with. Some people are only adept in their area of specialty, but he spans many. If there is an area that he is not highly adept in, he will quickly become that. I cannot say enough good things about him. You definitely want him on your team."
