Karl August Folkers (1906-1997), was the
Ashbel Smith Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and director of the Institute for
Biomedical Research at The University of Texas at Austin at the time of his
death. His research focused on naturally-occurring, biologically-active
compounds. He is best known for his work with B-vitamins, hypothalamic hormone,
coenzyme Q and mevalonic acid. During his career, Folkers held positions at
Merck (1931-1963), the Stanford Research Institute (1963-1968), and The
University of Texas at Austin (1968-1997). He received the American Chemical
Society Award for meritorious work in pure chemistry in 1941, the Van Meter
Prize of the American Thyroid Association in 1969, and the American Chemical
Society Priestly Award in 1986, among others. In 1990, Folkers founded the
Folkers Foundation for Biomedical and Clinical Research with the mission to
support biochemical research on causes of human disease.
