Dr. Max Baker Awarded $35,000 Grant

Dr. John Laur

Congratulations to Dr. Max Baker, who was awarded a $35,000 grant from the Grow Iowa Values Fund (GIVF) for his grant "Stereoisomerism in the Anticonvulsant Effects of a Novel Anticonvulsant: 2,6-diisopropyl-4-(1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-phenol."  

The GIVF is a program that provides seed grants to support the development of innovations with commercial potential, with the result that more UI technology reaches the marketplace as the foundation for new Iowa companies and/or growth of existing Iowa companies.  Dr. Baker's award will allow him to synthesize and evaluate enantiomeric forms of novel compounds found to have anticonvulsant effects.  The goal of this research is to develop new therapeutics for refractory epilepsy.
