Raul Gainetdinov Presented His Research at Plenary Session of St. Petersburg International Health Forum

Raul Gainetdinov and his colleagues are studying trace amine-associated receptors. Researchers around the world have focused on the first type of trace amine receptors, TAAR1, believing that the rest are responsible only for instinctive odors, such as the smell of rot. However, Raul Gainetdinov is confident that other human trace amine receptors are undeservedly ignored, and they can open up new opportunities in the treatment of depression, schizophrenia, bipolar and neurodegenerative disorders.

"We have revealed the secrets of frankincense and myrrh," noted Raul Gainetdinov, laureate of the VYZOV Prize for Future Technologies, speaking about the impact of different smells on people's emotional state.

In 2023, Raul Gainetdinov won the VYZOV Prize in the "Scientist of the Year" category for his discoveries regarding the dopamine system and trace amine-associated receptors, which enabled new approaches to developing pharmaceuticals for treating brain disorders.
