Bakhtiyor Yakubov conducts biomedical research focused on cancer biology, particularly how tumors interact with surrounding tissue to progress. A recurring theme is the role of an enzyme called tissue transglutaminase and its interactions with proteins like fibronectin in pancreatic cancer, including efforts to target these interactions with small-molecule compounds. Related work touches on cell mechanics, blood coagulation, and cardiovascular biology.
