Dr Rebecca Tadokera's Writing Portfolio
As a medical writer and scientific consultant, I leverage my passion for science, deep understanding of scientific and medical research, experience, and creativity to create compelling and audience-targeted content that adds value to my clients in the life sciences business.
After more than 12 years of working in academic research, I swapped my pipettes and lab coat for a keypad and laptop. I have passion and a real commitment to see science make an impact in society. Scientific communication, coupled with training other young scientists to make a similar transition is my avenue for realising this passion.
My specialisation is in the immunology, oncology, and infectious diseases therapeutic areas.

Increasing Participation Rates of Black Cancer Patients in Clinical Trials
The low participation rates of Black patients in clinical trials remains a significant concern for cancer clinical trial management, sponsors, and drug manufacturers. Clinical trials are the foundation on which new treatments emerge. Clinical trial participation rates must therefore be representative of the demographic distribution of the target population.
