Daniel de Lima Bellan

Daniel de Lima Bellan studies natural polysaccharides—complex sugar molecules extracted from seaweeds, mushrooms, and plants—and tests how they affect cancer cells, especially melanoma (a type of skin cancer). His work combines chemical structural analysis of these carbohydrate compounds with laboratory experiments (cell cultures and animal models) to evaluate their potential as anti-tumor, immune-stimulating, or protective agents. This research could interest students wanting to work at the intersection of natural product chemistry, biochemistry, and cancer biology.

Publication output has grown steadily from 2017 through a peak around 2022, then leveled off to a stable rate of about 3 papers per year in recent years.
