Learning in Retirement Lecture The Golden Age of Medicine is presented by Marna Williams, Ph.D. The winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2023, Kariko and Weissman, started what has been called the “the golden age of medicine” with their contributions to the development of mRNA vaccines and therapies. Have you wondered what their discoveries were and how their work laid the foundation for what medical professionals consider an imminent renaissance of new therapies for cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases? Explore the science behind these promising new RNA therapies that have the potential to transform our relationship to disease. This lecture was made possible through the Lifestyle Enrichment Department and the generous donations made to the Office of Philanthropy. Thanks to the Auditorium staff for sharing this show.
