Did you know that more than half of America’s “Baby Boom” population is projected to live to be 100 and more? By the year 2025, 65-year-olds will outnumber teenagers two to one. In fact, the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population is aged 65 and older.

Join UI Professor Kevin Kregel as he presents his current research on the aging process. Learn how “free radicals” and antioxidants impact age-related processes and explore scientists’ quest for extending lifespan and improving your quality of life.

Kevin Kregel, 81BS, 87PhD, who joined the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty in 1993, is a member of the Department of Integrative Physiology, and holds a secondary appointment in the Free Radical and Radiation Biology Program in the Department of Radiation Oncology.
