Peggy Hamburg to be New FDA Commissioner?

As reported in the Wall Street Journal: "The Obama administration has settled on two public-health experts to fill top posts at the Food and Drug Administration, people familiar with the matter said.

"Margaret 'Peggy' Hamburg, a former health commissioner in New York City, is the leading candidate to become FDA commissioner, the agency's top job, while Baltimore health chief Joshua Sharfstein is in line to become a deputy commissioner, the people said."

She wasn't on anybody's radar when I surveyed readers about who the next FDA Commissioner would be back in the fall!
