Associate Professor Roberta Ruotolo is affiliated with the Department of Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences at the University of Parma. Since 2013/2014, she has taught courses including Applied Genomics, Recombinant Technologies and Genetic Engineering, and Integrated Biotechnology Laboratory II across multiple academic programs: Biotechnology (DM 270), Genomic Molecular and Industrial Biotechnologies, and Biotecnologie e Bioscienze. Her academic lineage traces through cohorts from 2013/2014 to 2025/2026.
- Academic appointments: 2013-2025
- Teaching focus: Genomics, Biotechnology, Genetic Engineering
- Departmental affiliation: Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences
Roberta Ruotolo's research explores nanomaterial interactions with biological systems, focusing on metal detoxification mechanisms and nanotoxicological impacts. Her work spans plant biology (copper/cobalt oxide nanoparticle effects on reproductive tissues), yeast gametogenesis (cadmium sulfide quantum dots), and mammalian cardiac physiology (cobalt oxide nanoparticle cardiotoxicity). She also investigates chemogenomic responses to metal-based antiproliferative compounds.
Recent publications reveal trends in environmental nanotoxicology (2020-2023), emphasizing nanoparticle translocation patterns, oxidative stress induction, and electromechanical disruption in both plant and animal models. Her genomic analyses of Scenedesmus acutus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae provide mechanistic insights into phytochelatin dynamics and gametogenesis impairment.
