A giant in hepatology: a tribute to Prof. Roger Williams (29 August 1931 – 26 July 2020)
At Digital ILC 2020, EASL planned to give a Recognition Award to Prof. Roger Williams to honour his lifelong contribution to hepatology. Sadly, Prof. Williams passed away just a month before he was to receive it. He had already recorded his acceptance speech.
This moving video, led by Prof. Rajiv Jalan, serves as a tribute and a post-humous award presentation from EASL. In this video, leading hepatologists who worked with him reflect on the chapters of his multifaceted life, his contributions, his character, and the tremendous legacy he left.
