Derek Lowe, an Arkansan by birth, got his BA from Hendrix College and his PhD in organic chemistry from Duke before spending time in Germany on a Humboldt Fellowship on his post-doc. He's worked for several major pharmaceutical companies since 1989 on drug discovery projects against schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, osteoporosis and other diseases.

Here's another addition: A New Merck, Reviewed, which is someone's attempt to dig through everything about the new Merck/Schering-Plough hybrid. I'm not sure that all the info is reliable, of course, and whoever writes this has a strange way with italics, but it's worth a look.
Update: this turns out to be the Wordpress backup site for Shearlings Got Plowed, which I've mentioned here before. With the merger, the blog's author is covering his bases.
I got stuck in moderation last time, because I tried to sneak through two links.
I'll just settle for pimping Obesity Panacea this time. They look to be a good physiological look at health to supplement the pharmacological one.
You'll have to google for ERV, yourselves - it seems, though, that her style is too 'common' for some people here (she's one Belgium of a virologist, though).
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to try to rectify my slanted vision.

I put a high probability on Merck PR as paying for this shill site.

Speaking of strange ways with italics...
Wonder if I can end it.
