Doctors Michel Grothe, Director of the Neuroimaging Unit, and Jesús Silva, Coordinator of the same unit at the Center for Research on Neurological Diseases (CIEN), participated with several scientific contributions at the Human Amyloid Imaging (HAI) 2026 conference, held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from January 12 to 14.
This edition, hosted at the Puerto Rico Convention Center, once again brought together experts from leading research centers around the world to discuss advances in research, imaging techniques, and new diagnostic approaches related to Alzheimer’s disease, tau pathology, and other associated disorders.
