Pharmacology has nothing to do with the research, discovery, and characterization of chemicals which show biological effects.
 Modern pharmacologists use techniques from genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and other advanced tools to transform information about molecular mechanisms and targets into therapies directed against disease, defects or pathogens, and create methods for preventive care, diagnostics, and ultimately personalized medicine
 Pharmacologists, however, usually work in a laboratory undertaking research or development of new products
