Christophe de Jaeger, born in Paris on the 11th of August,1959, is French geriatrician and researcher specialized in the study of aging and longevity science.

Within his Institute for Longevity based in Paris, his scientific studies focus on aging.

Biography
He is the youngest of four children from a family of artists. His passion for the physiology of aging dates back to his adolescence, and he credits his meeting with Professor André Lwoff (Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1965) for his commitment to the Faculty of Medicine in Paris. There, he pursued his studies with the constant thought of unlocking the secrets of aging. He specialized in geriatrics during his studies.

After working in internal medicine and preventive medicine, he left the Assistance Publique of Paris to lead an active geriatrics department in Val-d'Oise for nearly 15 years. Concurrently, he continued his studies at the Faculty of Sciences, where he earned an advanced degree in biology of aging. His travels brought him into contact with physiologists, particularly in the United States (Professor Roy Walford – University of California, Los Angeles) and Canada, as well as in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Russia. In 2000, he founded the European Institute of Aging, specializing in the concept of physiological age, a true reflection of human aging and an essential tool for evaluating various anti-aging methods.

Christophe de Jaeger created the French Society of Medicine and Physiology of Longevity (SFMPL), a young learned society bringing together doctors, biologists, researchers, etc., eager to better understand the aging process and its medical consequences. He became the editor-in-chief of the journal Médecine et Longévité at Elsevier Masson. Christophe de Jaeger is a member of the French College of University Teachers in Physiology and Health and a member of the National Council of Geriatrics Professionals.

Christophe de Jaeger also founded the European Institute for Longevity (IEL) and the De Jaeger Institute (IDJ) in honor of his father Albert de Jaeger, the first Grand Prix de Rome, and creator of the adapted medicine medal for the Galien Prize for pharmaceutical innovation, awarded annually in many countries. The De Jaeger Institute is a think tank focused on very long healthy longevity in all its aspects (physiological, medical, psychological, sociological, philosophical, economic...). The De Jaeger Institute, a for-profit structure, organizes an annual conference held either at the National Assembly or the Senate.

He received (jointly with Dr. Didier Buthiau) the gold medal at the Annual Meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society in Washington, April 2013.

Scientific Career and Teaching
Christophe de Jaeger holds a medical doctorate (1988) and an advanced degree in biology of aging from the University Paris-Diderot (1992). He immediately specialized in geriatrics and created the geriatrics consultation at the Broussais Hospital in Paris.

One of the leading specialists in physiological age in Europe, he tirelessly advocates for these parameters that allow for an objective measurement of human aging. He was also the editor-in-chief of the journal Médecine et Longévité, where he authored numerous scientific and medical articles. He established the Gerontological Evaluation Center in 1998, featuring sophisticated technical facilities to detect and treat brain pathologies, particularly memory issues.

He was elected Professor of Medical Physiology at the Faculty of Applied Sciences of Megatrend University, the largest private university in Europe (London, Paris, Vienna, Belgrade). He became the first holder of the Chair of Longevity.

He teaches at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris and the Faculty of Medicine in Lille. He also participates as a teacher in the Research Master's program, with a focus on Integrative Biology and Physiology (BIP), specializing in the Biology of Aging (University of Paris).
