The series of scientific studies radically extended mouse lives up to 25% longer, all due to a drug, a drug that Gregg subsequently takes. Gregg studies have grown and today he speaks regularly about why and how we age and how a drug may be able to do for humans what it does for other species that has been administered to Gregg has a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Utah. He has worked in the gurney cellular lab on the Human Genome Project, and also as a paramedic in the greater Salt Lake area for over 10 years.
