Explore Life Sciences Translation by Category
Life sciences translation is not a single discipline. It spans clinical research, drug development, genomics, diagnostics, medical devices, and regulatory affairs, and each sector has distinct regulatory requirements, document types, and linguistic standards. Day Translations maintains dedicated specialist teams for each one. Select a category to learn more or request a quote for your specific needs.

Drug Safety & Pharmacovigilance
DSURs, SUSARs, PSURs, and individual case safety reports (ICSRs) translated with zero ambiguity. 24/7 availability helps safety signals reach regulatory authorities on time.
Linguistic Validation
Full ISPOR-aligned linguistic validation for COAs, PROs, and eCOAs: forward translation, reconciliation, back translation, cognitive debriefing, and final review.
Medical Education & Publishing
Medical textbooks, continuing medical education (CME) content, clinical guidelines, and scientific publications translated by subject-matter expert linguists with relevant medical backgrounds.
Biotechnology & Research
Research protocols, grant applications, laboratory notebooks, and scientific manuscripts translated for biotech companies, academic research centers, and government agencies.
Global Regulatory Strategy
Multi-market regulatory translation programs with centralized terminology governance, translation memory systems, and dedicated regulatory linguist teams for global submissions.
End-to-End Clinical Trial Translation
From Phase I first-in-human studies to global Phase III trials, Day Translations provides audit-ready translations for every document in your clinical program. We assign subject-matter expert linguists with relevant backgrounds in medicine, pharmacology, and regulatory affairs, so your submissions meet FDA, EMA, ICH, and PMDA standards.
Responsible AI for Regulated Content
AI and machine translation can accelerate the right projects, but regulated life sciences content carries no margin for error. Our approach keeps a qualified human expert in the loop at every stage.
Machine translation post-editing (MTPE) is available for lower-risk, high-volume content such as internal documents and selected marketing material, and it is always refined by a specialist linguist. High-risk and regulated content, including informed consent forms, labeling, protocols, and safety reports, is translated by subject-matter expert linguists and reviewed under our ISO 17100 process. You choose the workflow, and we make sure the safeguards match the risk.
