Enrico Rolli

Enrico Rolli serves as a Researcher in the Department of Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences at the University of Parma, where he has taught Plant Biology since 2013/2014 for 5-Year Single-Cycle Master's Degree programs in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology across multiple cohorts through 2022/2023.

His research spans plant-pathogen interactions, mycotoxin dynamics in crops, and metabolomic profiling of botanicals, with significant contributions to understanding aflatoxin biotransformation in maize, Fusarium-induced plant defense mechanisms, and standardization of Monascus purpureus supplements. He also explores evolutionary entomology, notably through 2024 research on alternative mating tactics in European stag beetles.

Dr. Rolli's interdisciplinary approach integrates laboratory experimentation with computational modeling to address food safety challenges, particularly in crop protection and botanical supplement validation. His work demonstrates consistent focus on plant responses to toxins and the development of analytical methods for contaminant detection in agricultural products.
