Today’s Top Three in Pharma 011209

Abbott makes a bigger push into medical devices with the purchase of Advanced Medical Optics.

Elan CEO about talks with Pfizer: No. But we love our rumors and speculation, don’t we?

Long-time (well, 2 years is a long time in this space!) blogger Ed Silverman ends his run at the top-notch Pharmalot, which will be another casualty of the awful newspaper environment (Pharmalot was owned by the Star-Ledger).

PLUS: An interview with Craig DeLarge on Web 2.0 stuff. Linked from the up-and-coming Med 2.0 blog. I’ve spent a little time with Craig and he is a definite leader in the progressive use of technology in pharma.
