Charissa de Bekker

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Pennsylvania State University who is fascinated by the biology of fungi. I am from the Netherlands where growing up I was already very interested in the natural world around me. This motivated me to study biology during which I was most drawn to the molecular side of things. Though I love working at the boundary of different disciplines within biology, this still drives me to ask my research questions from a molecular point of view. Next to enjoying my job as a researcher I love to travel, practice martial arts, go to concerts and watch movies.
