I gathered information on target medical conditions, then modified existing techniques and created new ones to suit the current research focus. I wrote protocols and tested the company's novel compounds for effectiveness in treating human disease. After experimentation concluded, I gathered the data, performed statistical analysis, and created charts visually representing the analyzed data.

* Developed websites on Merck's corporate Intranet; consolidated 35 worldwide groups.
