Title: Mapping the human body one cell at a time

Sarah Teichmann is Head of Cellular Genetics at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Director of Research, Cavendish Laboratory/Dept. Physics, University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on genomics and immunity. 

The Teichmann team is using single-cell approaches, so called “cell atlas” technologies, combined with human genetics at the cellular level. They utilise cutting-edge techniques in the wet and dry lab and are applying these methodologies for further understanding of human health, development and disease. The team’s research focuses on four complementary study areas: Transcriptional regulation and gene expression, Single-cell genomics, Immunology, and Protein complexes. She is co-founder and principal leader of the Human Cell Atlas international consortium. The International Human Cell Atlas initiative aims to create comprehensive reference maps of all human cells to further understand health and disease. Sarah Teichmann  is a world-leading scientist and she regularly publish in journals such as Nature, Science and Cell.
