Pirogov University: Longevity Technologies Forum

Moscow hosted the forum “Longevity Technologies”, organized by the RGNCC of Pirogov University with the support of the Russian Ministry of Health, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Association of Gerontologists and Geriatricians. Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Starodubov noted the priority importance of government attention to gerontology and geriatrics to ensure a full life for the elderly, emphasizing the role of geriatricians and district therapists. The forum became a platform for leading scientists, doctors, government officials and the international medical community to discuss comprehensive approaches to the problems of aging, develop innovative drugs and consider ways to transform the system of care for the elderly.

The forum discussed key aspects of increasing life expectancy and improving the quality of life. Participants shared knowledge and experience, identified strategies to improve the health and well-being of citizens. Special attention was paid to advanced academic strategies in achieving longevity, fundamental scientific approaches to the study of aging, age-specific reproduction, the role of innate immunity, the concept of active longevity index and the importance of health resort treatment.

The forum included a panel discussion on living with Alzheimer's disease, where the problems of families facing this disease were discussed, and a symposium on arterial hypertension, dizziness and cognitive impairment, which presented an interdisciplinary view of these geriatric problems. An important event was the opening of a school on geriatrics for doctors of all specialties within the framework of the national project “Territory of Longevity”. The school is aimed at improving the qualifications of specialists and expanding the access of elderly people to quality medical care.

Pirogov University: your compass in the world of medicine - find yourself before you enroll!

Is your dream to become a doctor? Often we choose a profession under the influence of parents, friends or simply because of the stereotype “it's the right thing to do”. But now is the best time to find yourself and try different directions!

Pirogov University opens its doors for future doctors, offering a comprehensive career guidance.

Career guidance is not just a list of professions. It is a chance to honestly ask yourself:

- “Am I interested in understanding the causes of disease?”;
- “Am I ready for a long and complex education?”;
- “Do I know how to empathize and listen to others?”;
- “Am I interested in the structure of the human body?”

At the career guidance classes organized by N.I. Pirogov RNIMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia, you will be helped to see yourself as a future specialist. Experienced teachers and doctors will tell you about the challenges and joys of the profession and help you determine whether this field is right for you.

It can be a little scary or unexpected, but it is always useful. The sooner you find your vocation, the better!

In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, the Pirogov University Veterans' Council is starting to update the “Book of Memory”

“Memory Book” of Pirogov University is dedicated to the military and labor exploits of employees and graduates of the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945).

Now on the University website under the title “Unfinished Book of Memory” all available information about veterans of our University is presented. Unfortunately, today it is incomplete: not all participants of those events are in this list, many have only fragmentary data about how they lived and worked during the war.

Therefore, the Veterans Council asks employees and students, as well as relatives of veterans who have information about the participation and activities of employees and graduates of the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute and graduates of the Military Faculty during the Great Patriotic War, to provide this information for placement in the “Book of Memory”.

The information can be sent to the post office of the Information Support Department: bogdanova_ea@rsmu.ru.
It is our duty to preserve the memory of our veterans for future generations.

KazanForum 2025: Pirogov University demonstrates advanced developments in neurorehabilitation

On May 13, 2025, the XVI International Economic Forum “Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum 2025” started its work in Kazan, bringing together more than 10 thousand participants from 103 countries. One of the key events was the Russia Halal Expo, an international exhibition of economic and scientific and technological cooperation.

Within the framework of the exhibition “Russia - Islamic World” Pirogov University demonstrates an advanced development - wireless medical equipment for motor rehabilitation “Exokist-M”.

The uniqueness of the technology lies in the use of a hand exoskeleton controlled by a brain-computer interface. This allows to effectively restore motor functions in patients after brain stroke, craniocerebral traumas, as well as in children's cerebral palsy. Mobility and versatility of the “Exokist-M” equipment ensure the possibility of its use both in hospital conditions and for patients who use a wheelchair.

Dmitry Bobrov, Acting Head of the Department of Neurocomputer Interfaces at the Engineering Center of Pirogov University, emphasized that the effectiveness of the rehabilitation approach has been confirmed by a multicenter blind randomized clinical trial involving more than 300 patients.

Studying at Pirogov University: chemistry and medicine will open your eyes!

Do you think that chemistry is only for experiments in the laboratory, and medicine is all about biology? Trust me, it's not! Chemistry is the key to understanding many of the processes that occur in our bodies and is especially important for future doctors. Here are three topics that will definitely be useful to you in medical practice.

1. Solutions: the magic of concentration

It would seem that what is difficult in a solution? But it is the concentration that determines the effectiveness of the drug and the safety of the patient. This knowledge is essential for every healthcare professional, from nurse to pharmacist.

2. Acid-base equilibrium (pH): the balance of life

Have you heard of the pH of blood? Normally, it ranges from 7.35 to 7.45. A slight deviation from these values can be life-threatening. Understanding acid-base balance is essential for diagnosing and treating respiratory failure, diabetes, and other diseases.

3 Redox Reactions (RRRs): The Energy of Life

Breathing, cellular function, oxygen transport, and energy production are all redox reactions. Every second, billions of redox reactions take place in your body. Even aging is associated with disturbances in these reactions.


Studying at Pirogov University is not just theoretical knowledge, but practical training that will help you become a true medical professional!

“Seven days of June 1941: how the war entered the life of medical students”

In these bright days of May, when the whole country remembers the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, we publish unique memoirs of graduates of the military faculty of the 2nd MGMI. These lines are written by those who already in the first days of the war rose to the defense of the Motherland, replacing student classrooms to field hospitals and front airfields.

Their records are not dry chronicles of events, but living, awe-inspiring testimonies of the era. Somewhere details were erased, somewhere memory shook, but the main thing remained - sincerity of each word, pain of losses and unbending faith in the Victory.

In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, it is especially important to preserve the memory of those who fought for our future.

Victory Day Concert at Pirogov University: commemorating the feat of arms of the Soviet people

The Victory Day concert dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War was a tribute to the feat of arms of the Soviet people. The event was permeated with an atmosphere of patriotism and deep emotional empathy.

One of the most memorable moments was the orchestra's performance of the famous theme from the movie “Schindler's List”. Also creative groups presented the song “Nameless Height”, which is a favorite of many people. A special place in the program was taken by the composition “Reflection on May 9”, which touched the hearts of all present. Students of the University took an active part in the concert, performing patriotic songs and poems.

The culmination of the evening was a minute of silence in memory of the fallen soldiers, home front workers and employees of the University - doctors, who honorably performed their duty at the front. This tribute of respect and gratitude to those who gave their lives for the sake of peace and freedom will forever remain in the hearts of the participants of the commemorative event.

За выдающийся вклад в эпидемиологию И.И. Рогозин был награжден двумя орденами Трудового Красного Знамени.

За вклад в науку и здравоохранение Н.Ф. Гамалея был награжден орденами Ленина, Трудового Красного Знамени и удостоен Сталинской премии.

Награжден орденом Отечественной войны I степени и орденом Красной Звезды.

The labor of medical workers and the well-coordinated work of the medical service allowed the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War to prevent mass epidemics both at the front and in the rear, as well as to introduce advanced methods of treatment that saved thousands of lives. Intensive scientific work was carried out in institutes and laboratories, the results of which were promptly applied in practice.

In 1943, at the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute (MMI), Isaac Rogozin founded the Department of Epidemiology and led the work to combat infections in war conditions. He developed systematic principles of anti-epidemic work, participated in the elimination of outbreaks of dangerous diseases and organized expeditions of students to fight typhus.

During the Great Patriotic War, the outstanding scientist Nikolai Gamaleya, head of the Department of Microbiology of the 2nd MMI, continued his scientific work in evacuation, publishing the most important works on influenza and microbiology. His research on oleic acid and the introduction of “soap prophylaxis” significantly reduced the incidence of infections among Red Army soldiers.

From 1941 to 1945, Prof. Ivan Ionin headed the Department of Infectious Diseases of the 2nd MGMI and was the chief epidemiologist of the Red Army, playing a key role in the fight against infections at the front. His scientific works, such as “Cholera and its Prevention” and “Handbook on Infectious Diseases”, became the basis of anti-epidemic measures in the army. I.D. Ionin actively consulted seriously wounded on the front line and died in 1945, performing his professional duty.
