E' presidente del Corso di Laurea in Viticoltura ed Enologia, membro della commissione didattica del Corso di Laurea in Viticoltura ed Enologia,  membro del Collegio dei Docenti del Dottorato in Scienze degli Alimenti. E' delegata alla didattica del dipartimento di  Bioscienze e Tecnologie Agro-Alimentari ed Ambientali. E' membro dell'Accademia della Vite e del Vino.

Rosanna Tofalo is full professor of  Agricultural Microbiology (AGRI 08-A) at the Department of Bioscience and Technology for Food, Agriculture and Environment of University of Teramo. She graduated in Food Science and Technology at the University of Basilicata where she also took the degree of Doctor of Research (Ph.D) in Food Biotechnology. She teaches on food, industrial and wine microbiology. Her research deals with the assessment of microbial biodiversity using molecular methods in order to better understand microbial dynamics during the production of different fermented foods such as wine, cheese, table olives and fermented meat. She is interested in the optimization of molecular methods for the detection, quantification and typing of food microorganisms. Furthermore, she carries out her research on microbial physiology, on yeasts and bacteria metabolism such as the production of secondary compounds during the fermentation process or enzymatic activities in order to select strains to be used as starters. She is interested in study of the factors and technologies affecting biogenic amines content in foods (cheeses, dry-sausages and wines). She is author and co-author of 200 articles. She is programme director bachelor degree  in Viticulture and Enology, member of the teaching body of the Degree in Viticulture and Enology, of the Ph.D. course in Food Science.
