In 2007, Rob also completed a number of global process improvement projects to successfully obtain his Merck Six Sigma Black Belt.

In this new role, Rob and his team support Discovery programs aiming to optimize properties of drug candidates for drug delivery and providing formulation support for pre-clinical in vivo studies through a wide range of drug delivery techniques.
