Ylva Ivarsson obtained her PhD in Biochemistry from Uppsala University in 2006. She moved to the University of Rome "La Sapienza" to study protein folding and misfolding in the group of Maurizio Brunori. After 2 ½ years in Italy she moved to the group of Pascale Zimmermann at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, to study protein-phospholipid interactions. In February 2012 she transferred to the Donnelly Center at the University of Toronto for a shared appointment between the groups of Sachdev Sidhu and Philip M Kim. During this stay, she developed a method called proteomic peptide phage display. Ylva was then awarded a Young Investigator grant from the Swedish Research Council and started her independent lab in the Department of Chemistry.
