Montana State University Billings biologists Kurt Toenjes and David Butler await patent OK for antifungal drug

Montana State University Billings http://www.msubillings.edu/ biologists Kurt Toenjes and David Butler haven’t had any direct affiliation with the Montana Bioscience Alliance http://www.montanabio.org/ yet, but their research is exactly what the alliance is interested in promoting.

Butler and Toenjes are waiting approval for Montana State University Billings’ first application for a patent based on their research of the C. albicans fungus.

The fungus can cause sometimes deadly infections in children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.
