  • Throughout his career, Dr. Vaklavas has developed a series of research activities in breast cancer that span the entire spectrum from lab-based research to clinical trials. In the lab, his focus has been on translation (mRNA to protein) and the discovery of compounds that disrupt oncogenic translation. This research has been supported by a Young Investigator Award from ASCO and a Career Catalyst Award in Basic and Translational Research from Susan G Komen.

    As the Physician Leader in Breast Cancer at Huntsman Cancer Institute, he oversees all clinical research conducted in the Institute pertaining to breast cancer. He oversees the clinical trials portfolio and serves as the Principal Investigator for many clinical trials including investigator-initiated studies that intend to bring the highly innovative basic science conducted at Huntsman Cancer Institute closer to clinical applications.
