Meet the Team
SEN’s editors are PhD scientists from Harvard, UCSF, and McGill with research publications in high-impact journals, including Science, Nature, Nature Genetics, and the Journal of Neuroscience. We are personable, efficient, and professional. We understand our client's pain points because we have been at the bench, we have published papers, and we have applied for grants to fund our own projects. Ultimately we really care, which is why we go out of our way to see our clients succeed. As a result, most clients become repeat customers. Check out our client testimonials and see a list of our successes.
Julie Gosse, PhD
|
Education: PhD in Neuroscience from UCSF
Julie Gosse has conducted primary research and authored manuscripts for top-tier journals such as Science and Nature Genetics. Dr. Gosse’s scientific expertise is in genetics, cell biology, and neuroscience. Following an internship at the biotechnology startup, she studied synaptic transmission in the thalamus. As a graduate student, Dr. Gosse applied genetics in C. elegans to explore the overlap between aging and tumor mechanisms. As a postdoctoral fellow, she studied axonal regeneration after injury to the central nervous system. |
Kristi Hatch, PhD
|
Education: PhD in Physics from Harvard
Kristi Hatch has extensive experience in editing scientific manuscripts for researchers based at academic and government institutions. Dr. Hatch has conducted scientific research in a broad range of fields and has published her findings in several peer-reviewed journals. As an undergraduate at Brigham Young University, she characterized uranium oxide X-ray mirrors; in addition, she performed materials science and biophysics research during internships at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and the University of Rochester. Dr. Hatch conducted her PhD research on the response of single DNA molecules to applied mechanical forces. |
Elizabeth Asha Nigh, PhD
|
Education: PhD in Neurobiology from Harvard
Asha Nigh was previously a scientific officer at the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine. At CIRM, she managed a $30 million grant portfolio in neuroscience aimed at supporting the development of cures based on stem cell research. She was also responsible for organizing conferences and for preparing workshops and reports to inform CIRM’s strategic decision-making. Finally, she created a portfolio analysis method to evaluate the institute’s scientific impact. Dr. Nigh was also a research assistant at Sandoz and the biotech company Tularik. Her doctoral work focused on the molecular basis of learning and memory and of maternal behaviors. As an undergraduate she studied glial cells, the “other” cell type in the brain. |
Deborah Solymar, PhD
|
Education: PhD in Immunology from Harvard
Deborah Solymar has participated in writing and editing scientific manuscripts, including grants, academic papers, and workshop reports for researchers and faculty based at academic institutions, governmental agencies, and biotechnology firms. In addition, Dr. Solymar has assisted with the coordination and writing of university departmental and institution-wide federal grant applications. Her doctoral work focused on cell type-specific transcription regulation of inflammatory cytokines in Th2 and mast cells. She previously worked at Roche Bioscience (formerly Syntex), where she helped to develop models for testing potential therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. |
“Our paper was reviewed quite favorably on the first try! A reviewer commented that 'the manuscript is clear and well-written, and is refreshingly free from grammatical errors.' ”
