Noriko  Satake

Clinical/Research Interests

Dr. Satake's research focuses on the development of targeted therapies for pediatric cancers, with a special emphasis on leukemia and neuroblastoma. She is currently developing targeted therapies using nanoparticles, chemotherpeutic drugs, and siRNA, with leukemia-specific ligands and antibodies.

She has developed a human leukemia xenograft mouse model and used this model to evaluate markers for leukemia stem cells. Through a collaboration she initiated with a local company, she has also developed a mouse model of a rare pediatric cancer, which will be used to study this cancer and evaluate new therapies.

Her other research focus is translation of bioengineering technologies into clinical applications. She has establisthed strong collaborations with bioengineers at the UC Davis Center for Biophotonics Science and Technology, particularly in the application of Raman spectroscopy in the clinic. In a previous collaboration, she studied leukemia cells in cerebrospinal fluid using Raman spectroscopy as an objective measurement of central nervous system leukemia. More recently, they have begun to focus on red blood cells.
