A Loss That Reverberates: Honoring Stephen A. Harrison, MD
Despite the year s scientific achievements, Aligos faced a significant loss with the passing of Dr. Stephen A.

Aligos Therapeutics expressed profound condolences while reaffirming its commitment to advancing Dr. Harrison s visionary work and ensuring that his legacy continues through groundbreaking contributions to the liver disease therapeutics domain.
