2025: ₽960 million grant allocation
The Center for Cybernetic Medicine and Neuroprosthetics won the competitive selection for grants to world-class scientific centers (NCMU). As part of this competition, the organization will receive ₽960 million for scientific and technological development. The funds will be provided at ₽320 million annually from 2025 to 2027. This was announced at the beginning of June 2025 by the press service of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. formations Russia
The Ministry of Education and Science presented the results of the competitive selection for the provision of subsidies from the federal budget to world-class scientific centers. The commission considered applications for the development and introduction into the economy of the most important science-intensive technologies.
In total, the commission considered 46 applications, of which eight came from medical universities and specialized scientific centers. The selection was attended by the National Medical Research Center named after V.A. Almazov, the First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov and the National Medical Research Center of Endocrinology named after I.I. Dedov.
Applications were also submitted by the Russian Scientific Center for Surgery named after B.V. Petrovsky, Institute of Physiology named after I.P. Pavlov RAS, Samara State Medical University and St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University. Their applications did not receive approval.
The Center for Cybernetic Medicine and Neuroprosthetics is a joint organization of Motorica and the FMBA Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnology. Representatives of the two organizations signed an agreement on the creation of the center in June 2024.
The main tasks of the center were the development and introduction of domestic neurostimulators. Specialists are working to integrate the practice of using brain-computer interfaces. The center also focuses on restoring sensitivity after limb amputation through prosthesis and setting up feedback between the nervous system and the computer.[1]
2024: Creation of the company
In Russia, the Center for Cybernetic Medicine and Neuroprosthetics is being created, which will develop and introduce advanced technologies in the field of medicine and robotics. This became known on June 24, 2024.
The initiative is being implemented jointly by the Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnologies of the FMBA of Russia and the Motorika Research Center, which is a resident of the Skolkovo Technopark.
The center will combine the competencies of medicine, robotics and information technology. The main focus will be on neuroprosthetics, that is, the creation and use of new types of closed-loop prostheses that can return lost functions to patients. As the newspaper notes, domestic innovative companies will play a key role in this process.
Neurotechnologies are one of the most important areas of modern medicine. The introduction of these technologies requires the combined efforts of specialists from various fields - neurologists, neurosurgeons, rehabilitologists, neurophysiologists, physicists and engineers, - said Veronika Skvortsova, head of the FMBA of Russia. |
The Center for Cybernetic Medicine and Neuroprosthetic will work to develop deep brain stimulation technologies to suppress the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, spinal stimulation to combat neuropathic pain, stimulation of peripheral nerves to eliminate phantom pain and vagus nerve to suppress epileptic seizures. In addition, it is planned to introduce new neuromodulation systems and digital diagnostics of patients.
According to FGKU Rosgranstroy, one of the key tasks of the Center will be the development of educational programs in the field of neurotechnologies, which will ensure the technological sovereignty of Russian medicine. The center will also develop domestic neurostimulators, integrate brain-computer interfaces and restore sensitivity after limb amputation.[2]
