معرفی
Luca Dellafiora is an Associate Professor at the Department of Food and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Parma, specializing in Food Chemistry (SSD CHIM/07-B). He leads international mobility coordination for the Master's Degree in Human Nutrition Sciences and manages internship programs. His research focuses on hybrid in silico/in vitro approaches to assess chemical risks and benefits in foods, particularly xenobiotics and mycotoxins.
Education
- PhD in Food Science and Technology (2015), University of Parma
- Master's in Molecular Biology (2011), University of Parma
- Bachelor's in Biology (2008), University of Parma
Research Interests
Prof. Dellafiora investigates chemical and chemico-toxicological aspects of food compounds using computational and experimental methods. Key areas include mycotoxin metabolism, bioactive compound interactions, endocrine disruption, and food risk assessment. His work addresses detoxification strategies and masked mycotoxin analysis.
Recent publications highlight trends in in silico modeling for toxin-receptor interactions, foodborne pathogen adhesion, and molecular mechanisms of contaminants. Articles span computational toxicology, mycotoxin research, and food safety innovations.
