SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Beyond COVID19 Vaccines: Translating RNA Science into Real-World Medicines.”
DESCRIPTION:The Center for RNA Biomedicine presents Sarah Herridge\, Ph.D.\, Director\, Research and Scientific Affairs\, BioNTech Australia\n\nOn Monday\, June 1\, the Center for RNA Biomedicine will host RNA biology and RNA drug development expert Sarah Herridge\, Ph.D.\, for a lecture titled\, “Beyond COVID19 Vaccines: Translating RNA Science into Real-World Medicines.”\n\nSchedule — Monday\, June 1 | 4 p.m. – 5 p.m.\n4:00 p.m – 5:00 p.m. | Sarah Herridge\, Ph.D. Lecture — 3695 North Lecture Hall\, Medical Science Building II\n\nAbstract and Speaker Info\n\nAbstract:\nRNA medicines have long promised a new way to treat disease\, offering speed\, precision\, and modularity that other therapeutic modalities may struggle to match. Well before the COVID-19 pandemic\, RNA-based approaches\, including mRNA and oligonucleotide therapeutics\, were already reshaping how disease could be targeted\, particularly in oncology. These early programs demonstrated both the potential of RNA and the practical complexity of translating it into robust\, patient-ready medicines.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic marked a pivotal moment for the field. RNA science was translated at unprecedented speed and scale into effective vaccines\, demonstrating clear real-world impact. As the world moves beyond the pandemic\, the question becomes: what comes next for RNA medicines? This talk explores how lessons from RNA therapeutics and vaccines are now converging to expand RNA-based approaches beyond infectious disease\, particularly in oncology and other complex indications.\n\nDrawing on her own career spanning academia\, startups\, and biopharma\, Sarah will share a personal perspective on the evolution of RNA medicines. She traces her journey from leading an academic laboratory to founding and scaling two startups at the intersection of oligonucleotide therapeutics and artificial intelligence\, and now to supporting RNA research translation and commercialization within a global biotech organization. This journey provides a practical lens on how RNA science moves from discovery to development\, and why translational thinking must begin long before clinical trials.\n\nFinally\, the presentation will focus on how BioNTech is working with the global research ecosystem to support this next phase of RNA innovation. By combining deep RNA expertise with partnerships\, manufacturing\, and mentoring capabilities\, BioNTech aims to help researchers move RNA discoveries from the lab toward innovative medicines\, ensuring that the momentum built during the pandemic translates into lasting health impact.\n\n\nAbout Sarah Herridge\, Ph.D.:\nDr. Sarah Herridge is an accomplished leader with over 15 years of experience in RNA therapeutics development for oncology\, spanning the full spectrum from target discovery to clinical trials. She earned her PhD in Biochemistry in Germany and completed her postdoctoral training at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory\, where she collaborated with Ionis Pharmaceuticals on pioneering RNA-based cancer therapies. Sarah has held leadership positions in academia\, including as Lab Head at the University of Otago in New Zealand\, and served as the Founder and Chief Scientific Officer for two startups in the RNA therapeutics sector: Amaroq Therapeutics and Fold AI.\n\nShe currently serves as Director of Research & Scientific Affairs at BioNTech in Australia. In her current role\, Sarah leads the development and execution of research strategy\, manages scientific collaborations and external partnerships\, oversees the onboarding of new research projects\, and drives the implementation of scientific engagement initiatives to advance BioNTech’s mission globally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Echoes of the Past: Greektown as Seen by Sam Karres
DESCRIPTION:Explore the personal sketchbooks of Sam Karres\, Greek-American painter and artist\, as he illustrates the daily life of residents in Greektown\, Detroit. This exhibit highlights Detroit’s Greek-American community and urban scenery during the late 20th century. Experience art and life through Sam’s eyes with scenes of music\, dance\, restaurants\, and the faces of the community. Let the vivid watercolor paintings and expressive sketches transport you to a Greektown of the past\, and learn more about Sam Karres’ life as an artist.\n\nFeaturing works from the Sam Karres Archive\, 1955-2012\, held by the University of Michigan Library's Special Collection Research Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Muted Volumes: Book-Objects\, Patterned Papers\, and the Closed Stacks of Buhr
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit in the Clark Library rotunda focuses on handmade decorative patterned papers when exploring books stored at the library's Buhr Offsite Shelving Facility. Decorative paper\, noticed when walking through the stack's aisles or surprising you when you casually flip through a book\, can really catch your eye. But because the Buhr stacks are closed from browsing\, the density and dimensionality of its nearly 3 million books are reduced to title searches on a screen.\n\nAs a response to these reflections\, artist and library staff member Stephanie Osorio shares her handbound unopenable book-objects as symbolic stand-ins for forgotten books at Buhr — the books that don’t get a chance to be noticed. Along with the book-objects are the carved woodblocks that made prints to decorate them. Some books from Buhr that inspired this project with their original decorated patterned papers will also be on display.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening reception on Thursday\, May 14th\, 5pm - 6:30pm\, for an opportunity to hear from the artist and engage with the book-objects.
