Laboratories & Research Centers
There are over 50 laboratories at MIPT which conduct research in different fields of science, both fundamental and applied study. All of them are highly equipped and has every opportunity to create and develop. Heads of the laboratories are involved in educational process as well as students are involved in scientific research. The majority of MIPT’s labs teams consist of university’s professors, students and alumni. Many of them participate in international collaborations and has exchange programs.
The Advanced Control Systems Laboratory is one of the laboratories pertaining to the Applied Mechanics Subdepartment of the Department of Aerophysics and Space Research, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

The laboratory conducts research in the following areas: molecular genetic mechanisms of aging and lifespan, treatment of age-dependent pathologies with advanced target proteins, and geroprotective characteristics of various substances. The research employs methods of molecular and classical genetics with the use of various model systems (yeast, drosophila, mice, human cells, long-lived mammals and fish species), bioinformatics and systems biology. The laboratory conducts analysis of genomes and transcripts of animal species and model systems with delayed-aging and increased lifespan traits.
Founded in 2015 by Tagir Aushev and Andrey Ivaschenko, the laboratory focuses on research and development projects in human state monitoring systems and human-machine interfaces. To bring the most promising developments to market, stand-alone companies are established in the areas where the lab is active.
Atmospheric research of primary planets with ground and spacecraft observations by methods of high resolution spectroscopy in ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared. Development of advanced aircraft equipment for spectral sensing of planetary atmospheres. Computer simulation of planetary climates and evolution of planetary atmospheres with the use of high performance supercomputing systems and 3-D general circulation models. Development of high resolution heterodyne spectrometry equipment. Space project Driada (Mermaid-2). The aim is to test new measurement methods of high resolution spectra and GHG reconcentration
The laboratory conducts research in tissue engineered bioconstruction with targeted organ or tissue replacement functions. The process of bioconstruction involves tackling a number of interdependent issues, such as creating a brassboard of a two-circuit perfusion system meant for artificial revitalization of an extracellular biological, combined, or artificial matrix; developing a vascular graft based on a revitalized, homogeneous, collagen and elastic matrix; developing sustained release peptide-based drugs from defined and standardized mesenchymal stem cells cultivated in ex vivo expansion conditions.
The laboratory of biophysics of excitable systems was established at MIPT in the end of 2010 as one of the laboratories of the “mega-grant” program of the Russian Government (http://www.p220.ru/). The main focus of the laboratory is the investigation of excitable biological tissues, such as cardiac tissue. For that purpose, methods for optical mapping of biological samples and tissue engineering techniques are being developed in the laboratory.
Our lab develops novel methods for computational materials discovery, and applies them to a wide range of exciting scientific problems. Positions in the lab are extremely competitive and we choose the select the brightest young talents and nurture them. We use some of the world's most powerful supercomputers, and our lab has its own supercomputer. Importantly, we have developed unique computational codes and use state-of-the-art visualization tools. Each year we host many visiting researchers and students.

Most studies carried out in the laboratory are closely related to the geophysical problems emerging during the early stages of off-shore oil and gas fields’ development. These problems include experimental estimations of mechanical properties of bottom sediments, construction of the model of effective properties of these sediments, and analysis of mechanical behavior of offshore infrastructure facilities subjected to external influence caused by seismic events and seawater movements.
Space Informatics Laboratory is an organized research unit based in the Phystech School of Radio Engineering and Computer Technology (Department of Radio Engineering and Cybernetics) at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). The purpose of the Space Informatics Lab is to foster research and education in the areas of aerospace and engineering systems and applied mathematics in a broad sense and in an interdisciplinary mode.
The laboratory is headed by Yuri Kovalev, ScD in physics and mathematics, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. We focus on observational and theoretical research into the relativistic objects of the universe: pulsars, young stars, binary systems, galactic nuclei, massive black holes. The objective is to further our understanding of their nature and use the obtained information to improve the precision of the inertial frame of reference.
The laboratory was founded in April 2014 based on the results of an open MIPT contest, conducted as part of the 5-100 program aimed at making MIPT and other top Russian universities more competitive internationally. The lab is equipped with growing, analytical, and technological equipment on par with top international research centers. This allows the team to conduct whole-cycle of research, including growing thin-film structures, studying their physical and functional properties, and manufacturing device prototypes.
