HH (Hylke) Kortenbosch, MSc

The main focus of my research is the emergence, spread, and persistence of resistance against antifungals (azoles) in the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus in the environment. This resistance is both a growing medical and environmental issue, making it a typical example of a One-Health topic. To study this topic I use a combination of fieldwork and lab experiments.
