Biography

Johanna Ivaska started her research career as a PhD student in the University of Turku, focusing on the biological roles of collagen-binding integrins. Following her successful postdoctoral training at CR-UK, LIR with Prof. Peter J. Parker, she established her own lab at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in 2003. Johanna subsequently moved to the University of Turku Centre for Biotechnology in 2013 and currently has 20 young and dynamic lab members. Johanna was elected as an EMBO member in 2015.

Research Intrest

To investigate how integrin traffic, activity and signalling are regulated under normal and pathological conditions.
