According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Research performed by Athira CEO and President Leen Kawas was tainted by scientific misconduct. Kawas allegedly engaged in the manipulation of key data in the research through the manipulation of Western blot images. The tainted research was of critical importance to the Company's efforts to develop treatments for Alzheimer's. The Company's research and development efforts were based on invalid data. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Athira, investors suffered damages.
