I assume the "Q" stands for chemist, but the "F"? Pharmacologist?

It might not be all that common in English, but its use on reputable sites, including those above (from US universities), suggests its broad acceptance by those in the field. Good luck, Muriel, and regards from the Northern Mariana Islands :-)

Sorry Muriel, got it the wrong way around!

Chemist and Pharmacist


Explanation:
In Mexico it is "Q.F.B.", they also add "Biólogo" (Biologist).
