Sarah Amalia Teichmann (born 1975)[1] FMedSci[16] is Head of Cellular Genetics at the Wellcome Sanger Institute[17] and a visiting research group leader at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI).[18][19] She is also a Director of Research (equivalent to Professor)[20] in the Cavendish Laboratory,[21] at the University of Cambridge and a Senior Research Fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge.[citation needed]

Education

Teichmann was educated at the European School, Karlsruhe in Germany from 1981 to 1993 where she completed the European Baccalaureate in 1993.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[22]

In 2013 Teichmann was appointed a joint position at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). From 2005 to 2015 she was a teaching fellow and Director of Studies at Trinity College, Cambridge. Since 2016 Teichmann has served as the head of Cellular Genetics at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute[17] and a visiting research group leader at the EBI.[19]

Teichmann's research[23][24][25][26] investigates gene expression[27][28][29] and protein complex assembly[30] using both wet laboratory and computational biology techniques.[31] In particular her research group:

Teichmann's research has been funded by the European Research Council (ERC), the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC),[33] the Wellcome Trust, the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), the Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST).[34]

As of 2015 Teichmann has supervised several PhD students to completion[35][34][12][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] and several postdoctoral researchers who have gone on to become Principal investigators (PIs).[34][43][44][45]

Awards and honours

Teichmann has won a number of awards. In 2010, she was awarded Colworth Medal from the Biochemical Society.[14][46] In 2012, Teichman was awarded the Francis Crick Medal and Lecture, membership of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)[7] and the Lister Prize from the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine.[6] In 2015 she was awarded the Michael and Kate Bárány Award for young investigators by the Biophysical Society[47] and the EMBO Gold Medal. Teichmann was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2015. Her citation on election reads:

Teichmann has also been an activist for women's careers in science through enabling scientists in families to advance their careers while working part-time.[15] She chaired a Sex in Science debate at the Wellcome Trust on balancing family life with working in research.[citation needed] Teichmann was elected an ISCB Fellow in 2016 by the International Society for Computational Biology.[10]

Personal life

Teichmann has two daughters.[2][4] Teichmann is the co-author of the children's language education novel Teenage Detectives,[48] which she wrote as a teenager together with her mother Dr. Virginia Teichmann, an English-language university lecturer in Karlsruhe.[49]
