Dr. Richard Wainford has worked as an assistant professor of pharmacology at Boston University School of Medicine for three years and has published papers with several institutions including the University of Bristol Department of Physiology and Pharmacology. The document advises medical students interested in pharmacology to familiarize themselves with the field's components as the requirements have changed over time. Pharmacology can be described as the study of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals and their effects on biological systems. The field has developed to incorporate analysis at the molecular level and involves a variety of scientific disciplines including physiology, biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology. A pharmacologist may specialize in several areas such as clinical and regulatory pharmacology.

2. Dr. Richard Wainford, a doctoral graduate
of the University of Aberdeen, has worked
as an assistant professor of pharmacology
at the Boston University School of Medicine
for the last three years. Richard Wainford
has put out papers with a number of
publishers, including the University of Bristol
Department of Physiology and
Pharmacology.
3. Medical students who are interested in
pharmacology should first familiarize
themselves in the various components that
make up the field, as the requirements for
pharmacologists have changed
considerably over the years. At its most
basic level, pharmacology can be
described as the study of naturally
occurring and synthetically orchestrated
chemicals and their effects on various
biological systems..
4. The field initially focused on the obvious effects
of biologically active chemicals, but has since
developed to incorporate analysis at the
molecular level. Individuals who are interested
in a highly concentrated field of study should
consider looking elsewhere, as pharmacology
is regarded as a bridge science, meaning it
involves a variety of scientific disciplines.
Pharmacological studies can be influenced by
physiology, biochemistry, and both cell and
molecular biology. A professional
pharmacologist may specialize in several
areas, including clinical and regulatory
pharmacology
