Dr. Abul-Hajj was responsible for establishing several endowments from royalty revenues received from the drug Ziagen, which was discovered by Robert Vince. These included the Vince Endowed Chair in Medicinal Chemistry, the Graduate Student Fellowship Fund, the Medicinal Chemistry Infrastructure Fund and the Drug Design Center Fund. Some of these resources were instrumental in the establishment of the Institute for Therapeutics Discovery and Development, a comprehensive academic drug discovery center.

Dr. Abul-Hajj dedicated himself to the education of the next generation of pharmacists and drug design researchers by training numerous graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, as well as serving as the Director of Graduate Studies and receiving a doctoral training grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Abul-Hajj co-authored the book From Digitalis to Ziagen, which covers the history of Medicinal Chemistry at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota. his research has primarily concerned the relationships between estrogen and cancer. More specifically, he has investigated how tumors can transform cholesterol into estrogen, the development of alternative treatments for breast cancer, specifically aromatase inhibitors, and how estrogens are involved in carcinogenesis.

Dr. Abul-Hajj has received many awards and recognition throughout his career including the Lawrence and Delores Weaver Medal from the University of Minnesota, He also is a Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Chemical Society and served as Senior Editor for the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry from 1995 to 2012.

Pharmacy is the science and practice of discovering, producing, preparing, dispensing, reviewing and monitoring medications, aiming to ensure the safe, effective, and affordable use of medicines. It is a miscellaneous science as it links health sciences with pharmaceutical sciences and natural sciences. The professional practice is becoming more clinically oriented as most of the drugs are now manufactured by pharmaceutical industries. Based on the setting, pharmacy practice is either classified as community or institutional pharmacy. Providing direct patient care in the community of institutional pharmacies is considered clinical pharmacy.[1]

The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing of medications. It also includes more modern services related to health care including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and efficacy, and providing drug information with patient counselling. Pharmacists, therefore, are experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize the use of medication for the benefit of the patients.

An establishment in which pharmacy (in the first sense) is practiced is called a pharmacy (this term is more common in the United States) or chemists (which is more common in Great Britain, though pharmacy is also used).[citation needed] In the United States and Canada, drugstores commonly sell medicines, as well as miscellaneous items such as confectionery, cosmetics, office supplies, toys, hair care products and magazines, and occasionally refreshments and groceries.

In its investigation of herbal and chemical ingredients, the work of the apothecary may be regarded as a precursor of the modern sciences of chemistry and pharmacology, prior to the formulation of the scientific method.[citation needed]

The boundaries between these disciplines and with other sciences, such as biochemistry, are not always clear-cut.Often, collaborative teams from various disciplines (pharmacists and other scientists) work together toward the introduction of new therapeutics and methods for patient care. However, pharmacy is not a basic or biomedical science in its typical form. Medicinal chemistry is also a distinct branch of synthetic chemistry combining pharmacology, organic chemistry, and chemical biology.

Pharmacology is sometimes considered the fourth discipline of pharmacy. Although pharmacology is essential to the study of pharmacy, it is not specific to pharmacy. Both disciplines are distinct. Those who wish to practice both pharmacy (patient-oriented) and pharmacology (a biomedical science requiring the scientific method) receive separate training and degrees unique to either discipline.

Pharmacists are healthcare professionals with specialized education and training who perform various roles to ensure optimal health outcomes for their patients through the quality use of medicines. Pharmacists may also be small business proprietors, owning the pharmacy in which they practice. Since pharmacists know about the mode of action of a particular drug, and its metabolism and physiological effects on the human body in great detail, they play an important role in optimization of drug treatment for an individual.
