Welcome to NACHO
The North American Consortium for Histiocytosis (NACHO) is the first multi-institutional consortium in North America with a solid scientific agenda and the research infrastructure necessary for the development and effective implementation of clinical and translational studies and biological research for histiocytic diseases.
Mission
Our mission is to cure all patients with histiocytic diseases and optimize outcomes through innovative and collaborative research.
Goals
- To develop a network for the advancement of clinical, translational, and basic research in histiocytic diseases.
- To advance therapeutic, etiological and mechanistic research through the implementation of high impact clinical trials and organized collection of well annotated clinical data and biology specimens.
- To define the pathogenesis of histiocytic diseases and develop risk-stratification strategies with tissue samples from patients treated on NACHO trials.
