ChemBio Writing and Editing has recently been established by Dr Angela Kriste. We are located on the Kapiti Coast, approximately one hour's drive north of New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. We look out over the beautiful Kapiti Island (photographed above), an internationally recognised nature reserve.
We provide a professional and personal service to write and edit manuscripts which have a chemical or biological basis or are more generally required by commercial organisations, grant applications or research proposals.
We will work with your manuscript from initial editing to checking minor revisions prior to journal submission. We will ensure your document is edited to the high standards required by international journals and publishers. Although we cannot guarantee journal acceptance, a well written and edited manuscript will increase its chances. Furthermore, your document will remain confidential to us during the editing process.
Dr ANGELA KRISTE - FOUNDER OF CHEMBIO WRITING AND EDITING
Angela completed a B.Sc. (Hons) and an M.Sc. in Chemistry/Biochemistry from the University of Natal, South Africa in 1993. This was followed by a PhD in Chemistry in 1996 from Queen's University, Kingston, Canada. Employment history includes work for a pharmaceutical company in Auckland, New Zealand as well as a post doctoral scholarship for the Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre. She also has freelance editing experience. She has recently established ChemBio Writing and Editing to allow for flexibility as her children grow up. Angela has a strong background in Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, and research experience in Instrumental Analysis, Drug Development and Testing. She has published a number of papers in international journals, and presented research at a number of international conferences.
