Membership Chair

Erynn Smith is an early-career medical writer based in Shoreview, MN. She has a decade of scientific communications experience spanning academic research publications, health communications content, and technical regulatory writing in the medical device industry.

Erynn earned her PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics from the University of Minnesota, where she studied a rare neuromuscular wasting disease and learned to effectively translate complex scientific information into accurate, digestible, and engaging communications for healthcare provider, caregiver, and patient audiences. She has co-authored eight peer-reviewed publications and dozens of abstracts, posters, slide decks, and conference materials.

After graduation, Erynn joined Diasorin as a product development scientist and extended her skills in technical writing, editing, project management, and cross-functional collaboration to author technical documentation supporting successful regulatory submissions for diagnostic medical devices. She is eager to grow her portfolio and serve new clients as she pursues patient-centered healthcare communication that bridges the gap between science that matters and the humans to whom it matters most.
