Professor Dr. Sarah Teichmann

Biography

Sarah Teichmann is a prominent immunologist at the University of Cambridge with a focus on understanding the regulatory mechanisms of T helper cells. Her research interests encompass the interplay between transcriptional and epigenetic regulation in cell state changes, particularly how naïve T helper cells differentiate into various functional subtypes with distinct roles in the immune response. Utilizing integrated computational and experimental methodologies, including RNA sequencing and single-cell techniques, she aims to elucidate the intricate control of gene expression during immune differentiation and reprogramming. Her notable publications include significant contributions to the understanding of immune homeostasis and the role of stromal cells in cachexia and anemia. Teichmann has actively engaged in public outreach through various media and educational initiatives, including webinars, films, and science exhibitions related to the Human Cell Atlas project.
