Abstract (EN): The present day Amyloid Research Centre was created next to the Institute of Neurology of the Hospital Geral de Santo António in 1972, under the leadership of Corino de Andrade, until his retirement, in 1988, at the age of 82. His successor, Pedro Pinho e Costa, directed the Centre from 1988 to 1998. In the course of its history, the Amyloid Research Centre congregated a large proportion of those that, in Portugal, dedicated their time to the study and care of familial amyloid polyneuropathy, bringing together diverging interests and sometimes antagonic personalities around a common purpose that expressed itself in hundreds of publications and nearly a dozen doctoral theses. Some of the most relevant steps in its development are here recalled.
