The Histiocytosis Research Trust

The Histiocytosis Research Trust was set up as a registered charity in 1991 and is dedicated to promoting and funding scientific research into uncovering not only the causes of the histiocytosis diseases, Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, but also ensuring early diagnosis, effective treatment and a cure. 

The Trust also aims to support patients and their families as well as raise public and professional awareness about histiocytic disorders. 

We also have an independent scientific review board which allocates funds to vital research projects. To date, The Trust has funded three three-year projects. 

The H R Trust is closely linked to the Nikolas Symposium, an annual conference attended by leading doctors and scientists from all over the world and also has ties to The Artemis Association, The Histiocyte Society, Euro Histionet and The Histiocytosis Association.
