Prof. Renato Bruni is an Associate Professor at the University of Parma's Department of Food and Pharmaceutical Sciences. He teaches Pharmaceutical Botany, Plant Biology, and Ethnobotany in Pharmacy and Gastronomic Science programs. His research focuses on phytochemical analysis, mycotoxin interactions in crops, plant metabolite bioactivity, and food safety. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed articles since 2011, with recent work emphasizing mycotoxin contamination in coffee supplements, historical medical case studies, and metabolomic profiling of medicinal plants. His teaching spans both undergraduate and graduate levels, including roles as a course tutor in Food Science and Pharmacy programs. No scientific awards were explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
Research interests combine analytical chemistry techniques (e.g., HR-MS) with botanical studies, particularly investigating plant defense mechanisms against Fusarium toxins and standardization of herbal supplements. He collaborates on multi-disciplinary projects including exhibitions linking botany to art and culture, such as the 2024 'Impronte: noi e le piante' exhibition in Parma.
