Dr. Kassenbrock’s talk will present a brief overview of the fungal kingdom including how this group is defined and their distinctions from other organisms. We will then focus on the interactions of fungi with plants and other life forms and the unique niches fungi occupy in the environment.
C. Kenneth Kassenbrock, MD, PhD, is an Emeritus Professor of Biology at Colorado State University, where he taught classes in Mycology, Cell Biology, and Human Genetics. Trained as a physician-scientist, Dr. Kassenbrock did post-doctoral work in molecular genetics with the brewer’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and worked in cellular signal transduction and cancer biology at the University of Colorado Medical Center before moving to CSU. At CSU, mycology moved from a long-held passion to a central career focus, and Dr. Kassenbrock continues to give invited presentations on a range of mycological topics to both University and public audiences.
