Abstract:
:This article gives some information on the French research on aging using a survey of the European Commission on research on aging in Europe and the answers to a questionnaire sent to the laboratories involved in aging research. France is involved in the European effort, but to a lesser degree than could be expected from its population size, and this picture has not changed during the last decade. The answers to the questionnaire allow us to know the opinion of colleagues on the strengths and weaknesses of French research: the lack of money and institutional recognition seem to hinder the development of experimental gerontology in France.
