Mr. Bruno, a licensed Professional Engineer and a graduate of Northeastern University with an advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering, joined Microfluidics in March of 1996 as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. He was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of both Microfluidics and MFIC in March 2001.

Over the last twelve years, Mr. Bruno worked to grow the Company's business through product innovation, the expansion of a global sales network and the establishment of highly effective engineering and manufacturing organizations. Mr. Bruno spearheaded the development of the Company's Microfluidizer® processor model M-700 standardized "BioPharm" product line, which played a critical role in Microfluidics' rapid growth in the biopharmaceutical markets.

More recently, Mr. Bruno led the design and development of Microfluidics' highly successful new product, the M-110P laboratory Microfluidizer processor. During his tenure, Mr. Bruno also oversaw the introduction of several key differentiating product features that established Microfluidics as a world leader in biopharmaceutical high shear fluid processing.

"It has been a pleasure working with Bob as he has made significant contributions to the development of our business, our product portfolio and the overall organization," stated Michael C. Ferrara, Chief Executive Officer of MFIC. "We appreciate his dedication over the years and wish him all the best in his retirement."
