Maximilien Franck

Maximilien Franck is a researcher in aging biology and environmental science at the University of Sherbrooke in Canada. He is the lead author of a groundbreaking study published in Nature Aging that challenges the widely held belief that chronic inflammation, or 'inflammaging', is a universal phenomenon associated with aging. The study compares inflammation levels among different populations, including industrialized Italians and Singaporeans, and non-industrialized groups like the Tsimane of Bolivia and Orang Asli of Malaysia, revealing significant differences in inflammation patterns related to age and lifestyle.
