At a time when science and healthcare appear to be under attack, come learn about the scientific advances that saves lives!
Sean Ryder, Ph.D. is a Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biotechnology at UMass Chan Medical School. He is also the author of Everyday RNA: The Future of RNA Medicines, a textbook written to a lay audience that answers the questions “What is RNA?”, “What does it do in our cells?”, and “How is it being used to make medicines, including vaccines?”. His presentation will focus on the history of vaccine technology, beginning with the discovery that Cow Pox inoculation protects against Small Pox infection and concluding with the development of mRNA vaccines. The presentation is tailored so that anyone should be able to follow and understand without the need for an advanced science degree.
