About me — Valery Grinevich
Since my PhD (1992–1996, Saint Petersburg), I have maintained an interest in peptidergic signalling within the mammalian brain. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with excellent people who share my passion for this area of research. My team at the Central Institute of Mental Health is currently successfully exploring the novel mechanisms by which neuropeptides (primarily oxytocin) act centrally to influence pain, fear, and socio-sexual behaviours.
