The year was 1945.  Since then, the Millard Professor and emeritus professor of internal medicine at UNMC has gained international acclaim for his widely accepted aging theory. Known as the father of the free radical theory of aging, Dr. Harman also discovered the role of antioxidants (vitamins C, E and beta-carotene) in fighting heart disease and cancer.  In recognition of his pioneering work, family and friends of Dr. Harman, through the University of Nebraska Foundation, established the Denham Harman, M.D., Ph.D., Lectureship in Biomedical Gerontology.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/harmandenham2002WEB.jpg"}
