معرفی
Satoko Ito, MD, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) within the Department of Medical Oncology and Hematology. She serves as the Decision Analytic Modeling Research Lead in the Goshua Lab, the first U.S. laboratory specializing in hematology-oncology decision analytic modeling. Dr. Ito holds dual training as a hematologist and palliative care physician with over a decade of clinical practice. She earned her PhD in Epidemiology from Kyoto University (2021) and her MD from Okayama University (2005).
- Education:
- PhD in Epidemiology, Kyoto University (2021)
- MD in Medicine, Okayama University (2005)
Research Interests: Dr. Ito focuses on quantitative decision science, particularly cost-effectiveness analyses and predictive modeling in hematology-oncology. Her work addresses treatment optimization for conditions like sickle cell disease, hemophilia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and iron deficiency anemia. She emphasizes translational research to bridge clinical evidence and healthcare policy.
Publications: Recent work highlights her expertise in evaluating curative therapies, diagnostic algorithms, and equity-focused interventions. Key themes include cost-effectiveness of gene therapy vs transplant in sickle cell disease and optimizing diagnostic thresholds to reduce unnecessary testing.
Collaborations: Active collaborators include Prof. George Goshua (Goshua Lab director), Harlan Krumholz, and Ayesha Butt, with frequent co-authorship on hematology economics topics.
Labs/Teams: Leads decision modeling efforts in the Goshua Lab, advancing evidence-based practices in hematologic malignancies and blood disorders through interdisciplinary teams.
