Peter Fedichev

Peter Fedichev is an entrepreneur and scientist with over 20 years of experience in academic research and the biotech industry. He co-founded Gero, a leading longevity startup. Peter’s scientific background is rooted in theoretical condensed matter physics and the physics of complex systems. Over time, he has applied methods from these fields to aging biology, biophysics, and bioinformatics. He is recognized as a leading scientist in developing analytical models of aging in humans and animals, distinguishing between reversible/dynamic and irreversible/entropic aspects of aging, and exploring the limits of life-extension and age-reversal. He earned his M.S. in theoretical physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology while working at the Kurchatov Institute, one of Russia’s premier scientific agencies. In 1994, he moved to the University of Amsterdam and FOM AMOLF in the Netherlands, where he earned his Ph.D. (cum laude), co-authored over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals, including high-impact journals like Science and Nature Communications. He has also co-authored multiple patents.
