• Mechanisms of disease pathogenesis
• Biology (maturation, migration and immune function) of dendritic cells, macrophages and/or lymphocytes in disease pathogenesis
• Derangements of cytokine production or function
• Neurologic and neuropsychiatric manifestations of histiocytosis
• Studies of rare histiocytoses -- Juvenile xanthogranuloma, Erdheim-Chester disease, Rosai-Dorfman disease
• Studies of histiocytic disorders in adults
• Discovery of new disease markers
• Quality of life, symptomatology, and survivorship
