The Russian government has transferred the Pirogov National Research Medical University to the Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA), which reports directly to President Putin. This strategic move aims to enhance Russia's biotechnology and longevity programs, with Maria Vorontsova, Putin's daughter, overseeing significant investments in medical technology. Vorontsova leads initiatives focused on anti-aging treatments and has recently opened a longevity lab at Skolkovo School of Management. Despite criticisms regarding her academic credentials, she has been granted substantial state funding for research. Russia's national programs aim to increase life expectancy, reflecting Putin's personal obsession with anti-aging treatments.
