About me
C. Kenneth Kassenbrock, MD, PhD, is an Emeritus Associate 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.
