Ding-Shinn Chen, M.D., Ph.D., the main driver and great helmsman for the nationwide hepatitis B vaccination program in Taiwan, died June 24, 2020, at the age of 77. Dr. Chen's lifetime research unveiled the cause-and-effect relationship between viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), particularly in chronic hepatitis B (CHB). His important and insightful discovery and perspective eventually led to a global campaign for universal hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination, which has saved millions of lives across the world.
