Translation Expertise Across the Life Sciences Ecosystem

Sesen helps pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, clinical research, healthcare, digital health, and public health organizations manage multilingual content across the life sciences lifecycle.

From scientific research and clinical development to regulatory approval, product launch, patient communication, and post-market operations, our specialized language workflows are built around the content, terminology, and quality requirements of global life sciences.

One Translation Partner Across a Complex Life Sciences Landscape

Life sciences may be one industry, but its multilingual content is anything but uniform.

A clinical trial informed consent form has different linguistic and usability requirements from a pharmaceutical submission. A medical device IFU must communicate instructions and safety information differently from a scientific manuscript. A patient portal requires a different localization workflow from pharmacovigilance documentation, while emerging biotechnology content can introduce terminology long before standardized translations exist.

Sesen brings these requirements into one specialized life sciences language framework. We align professional linguistic expertise with the purpose, audience, regulatory context, content type, and target market of each project—helping global teams preserve meaning and terminology as information moves between research, clinical, regulatory, product, healthcare, and commercial environments.

From Discovery to Post-Market

Multilingual Content Across the Life Sciences Lifecycle

Scientific concepts developed during research can become clinical terminology. Clinical terminology can move into regulatory submissions. Approved language can later appear in labeling, training, digital products, medical communications, and safety updates. Sesen helps organizations maintain multilingual continuity as content evolves across the lifecycle.

01

Research & Discovery

Scientific research, preclinical documentation, early terminology, technical collaboration, and emerging therapeutic concepts.

02

Clinical Development

Protocols, ICFs, investigator content, patient materials, eCOA, site documentation, amendments, and study communication.

03

Regulatory Approval

Submissions, health authority correspondence, controlled product information, labeling-related content, and market-specific updates.

04

Launch & Market Access

Labeling, packaging, medical affairs, training, digital experiences, patient education, market access, and launch communication.

05

Post-Market & Safety

Pharmacovigilance, safety communication, labeling revisions, product updates, software releases, and lifecycle maintenance.

Where Sectors Intersect the Lifecycle A high-level view of where multilingual content commonly appears for each sector.
Pharmaceuticals
Research through post-market and safety
Biotechnology
Research through post-market and commercialization
Medical Devices
Development through regulatory, launch, and post-market
CROs & Clinical Research
Clinical development through regulatory support
Digital Health
Clinical, regulatory, launch, and ongoing product updates

Healthcare delivery and public health span care, access, education, policy, and ongoing communication rather than a single product-development pathway, so they are represented elsewhere in the sector architecture.

Different Sectors. Different Content Requirements.

Specialized life sciences translation is not interchangeable across sectors. The intended audience, scientific maturity, regulatory context, potential risk, document function, and downstream use all influence how multilingual content should be translated, reviewed, validated, and maintained.

Scientific & Research Content

Research language can be highly specialized and still evolving. Biotechnology, genomics, cell and gene therapy, molecular biology, and other advanced fields require scientific understanding as well as linguistic judgment. Strong terminology governance early in development can provide a reliable foundation for downstream clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, and commercial content.

Clinical & Patient Content

Clinical content must preserve scientific meaning while remaining appropriate for investigators, sites, study teams, and participants. Patient-facing materials add requirements around comprehension, cultural appropriateness, validation, and consistent communication across ICFs, eCOA, digital trial tools, patient education, and healthcare environments.

Regulatory & Product Content

Regulatory and product translation requires controlled terminology, source-to-target alignment, version management, and awareness of how translated content will be reviewed, reused, structured, or updated. Product information increasingly moves across documents, formats, systems, releases, and markets rather than remaining in isolated files.

Digital & Commercial Content

Digital health platforms, medical software, patient applications, connected devices, training programs, medical communications, and commercial assets must work in context. Language needs to fit interfaces, workflows, graphics, instructional environments, and approved product terminology while preserving a coherent experience across markets.
