Kathrin Kunze

I am a multilingual medical communicator, author and publisher with a clinical nursing background and more than 20 years of experience across healthcare, pharmacy and the life sciences.

After many years of working directly with patients—including in emergency care—health-related challenges brought my clinical career to an unexpected end. When my family and I moved from Germany to Sweden, I transformed my medical knowledge and passion for communication into a new career focused on medical translation, patient communication, health literacy and accessible publishing.

Today, I work at the intersection of healthcare professionals, industry and patients. My specialist areas include clinical trials, oncology, rare diseases and multilingual medical communication in English, German and Swedish.

I am the author of *How to Speak Cancer*, a practical and compassionate guide created to make cancer terminology easier to understand. I am also the co-author of *Clinical Trials: Signed. Sealed. Recruited?*, which combines clear explanations, nature-inspired metaphors and authentic perspectives from patients, participants and clinical trial professionals.

Through *MedTalks with Kathrin*, I give patients, advocates, healthcare professionals and researchers a platform to share their knowledge and lived experiences. As the founder of Kathrin’s Medical Linguistics and KML Publishing, I also support authors in creating and publishing meaningful medical books, patient stories and translated works.

Everything I do is connected by one central mission:

To make medical language accessible for ALL – regardless of age, language, education or background.

I live in Sweden with my family and find inspiration in nature, books, photography and the stories people entrust to me.
