Rafael Lancelotta

Rafael Lancelotta studies psychedelic compounds, with a particular focus on 5-MeO-DMT (a psychoactive substance found in certain toad secretions and used in some traditional and clinical contexts). His work spans chemical synthesis and characterization of these substances, safety concerns around drug combinations, and studies of their psychological effects, such as changes in life satisfaction, mindfulness, and symptoms of mental health conditions. This research sits at the intersection of pharmacology, toxicology, and clinical psychology.

Publication output has been fairly steady to growing over the last decade, rising from occasional papers in 2017-2018 to a more consistent output of 2-6 papers per year from 2019 onward, with recent years (2024-2025) showing some of the highest counts.
