Organized By: First Year Experience Programs

University of Michigan students tell us that making friends and finding community are some of the most rewarding aspects of their time on campus but COVID-19 has made these things more challenging to do. You are invited to join the Community Matters Cohort Program which provides a space for students to meet others and participate in regular social events. Program participants will be matched with a small group of other students who are interested in finding community. Cohort groups will meet weekly for one hour via zoom and will have the opportunity to meet students from other cohorts throughout the Winter semester.

Those interested in participating in the Community Matters Cohort Program should sign up by January 21st, 2021 at 11:59pm. Cohort assignments will be announced by January 25th, 2021 and the program will run from February 1st - April 18th, 2021.

The Clements Bookworm: Art, Food, and the Politics of Race in the Age of American Expansion (January 15, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80391 80391-20713708@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 15, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Still-life paintings of food look innocent at first sight, but were depictions of food merely delicious and pretty pictures to admire? Shana Klein's new book, "The Fruits of Empire," argues otherwise. This book talk will address Klein's research on representations of food to understand how they reflected and shaped conversations about race and national expansion in the United States. She will discuss the paintings, photographs, and silverware objects in the book and ask: Who do images of food serve? And at whose expense? The results are not always delicious.

Dr. Klein, Assistant Professor of Art History at Kent State University, is trained in the history of American art, with sub-specialties in African-American and Native-American art.

This episode was generously sponsored by Duane and Marilyn Kirking.

*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

Dr. Michele Vendruscolo - Centre for Misfolding Diseases, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge

*“Activity Relationship by Kinetics for Drug Discovery in Protein Misfolding Diseases”*

ABSTRACT: Protein oligomers are increasingly recognized as the most cytotoxic forms of protein aggregates. It has been very challenging, however, to target these oligomers with therapeutic compounds, because of their dynamic and transient nature. To overcome this problem, I will describe a 'structure kinetic-activity relationship' (SKAR) approach, which enables the discovery and systematic optimization of compounds that reduce the number of oligomers produced during an aggregation reaction. I will illustrate this strategy for the amyloid beta peptide, which is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease, by developing a rhodanine compound capable of dramatically reducing the production of amyloid beta oligomers. As this strategy is general, it can be applied to oligomers of any protein.

With the recent progress in technologies, analyzing detailed cellular interactions that constitute the immune system have become possible, and many more biological and engineering tools became within reach for precise investigation and modulation of immune responses. As a result, immunotherapies, such as anti-PD-1 antibody and chimeric antigen receptor T cells, have revolutionized cancer immunotherapy, while genome sequencing and nanotechnology allowed for the rapid development of various vaccines in response to the recent outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019. Here, first discussed is modulation of the immune responses using biomaterials, such as silica- or lipid-based nanoparticles and immunomodulating agents for cancer immunotherapy. My approach for immune modulation was to deliver vaccine or pattern recognition receptor-stimulating drugs using nanoparticles to enhance the activation of antigen presenting cells at the innate immune response stage, which leads to stronger adaptive immune responses. In addition, induction of a stronger chemokine gradient to recruit more T cells to tumor from the blood circulation was investigated. In the next study, use of lipid-based nanoparticle to formulate vaccines against infectious diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is introduced. Nanoparticle-mediated vaccine delivery increases the amount of antigen reaching lymph nodes to interact with immune cells. Also, co-delivery of adjuvants further induces stronger adaptive immune responses. Meanwhile, it is critical to preserve the epitope conformation when protein antigens are used for vaccine formulation, in order to induce functional neutralizing antibodies. The aim of the study was to co-load a subunit protein and an adjuvant into lipid-based nanoparticles while maintaining the structural intactness and induce enhanced antibody responses when vaccinated to animals. Overall, immune modulation strategies are introduced in therapeutic or prophylactic settings, where innate and adaptive immune responses were enhanced using biomaterials-based treatments.

Wendell Pierce Stars in Some Old Black Man (January 15, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80493 80493-20730267@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 15, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with bold probity rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

In the play, Calvin Jones (Wendell Pierce), a hip, coolly intellectual African-American college professor moves his 82-year-old ailing, but doggedly independent, father, Donald Jones (Charlie Robinson), from Greenwald, MS into his Harlem penthouse. The play begins with an argument over what to eat for breakfast, then turns into a generational clash over race, opportunity, and a decision that Calvin made years ago. Donald’s grumpiness is peppered with disturbing outbursts, revealing bits of his past, informed by growing up Black and poor in the South.

Themes of social justice themes and intergenerational conflict make Some Old Black Man a fitting title for our times, when the reality of more togetherness unveils some of the tensions underlying even the closest of relationships.

The play was filmed in Detroit after the creative team quarantined together during rehearsals in Ann Arbor under strict safety protocols.

After the digital premiere, join the creative team for a live talkback. Production will be available on demand through Monday, January 18.
