Sanger Virtual Seminar Series - Human Cell Atlas: Mapping the human body one cell at a time.

The first seminar in our series will be given by Sarah Teichmann, Head of Cellular Genetics, who will present on the Human Cell Atlas: Mapping the human body one cell at a time.

The session will include a 30 minute presentation followed by a 30 minute live Q&A session. In the first seminar of the series, you will hear how the Human Cell Atlas is providing unprecedented understanding of human cells and tissue architecture in health and disease, including reproductive biology, auto-immune disease and COVID-19 infection.

Dr Sarah Teichmann, FMedSci FRS, Head of Cellular Genetics Wellcome Sanger Institute
Sarah Teichmann is interested in global principles of protein interactions and gene expression. In particular, her research now focuses on genomics and immunity. From 2016, Sarah is the Head of Cellular Genetics at the Wellcome Sanger Institute.   Sarah did her PhD at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK and was a Beit Memorial Fellow at University College London. She started a group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in 2001. In 2013, she moved to the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge, where her group was joint between the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. Sarah is an EMBO member and fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and her work has been recognized by a number of prizes, including the Lister Prize, Biochemical Society Colworth Medal, Royal Society Crick Lecture and EMBO Gold Medal.

Human Cell Atlas: Mapping the human body one cell at a time
The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) is an ambitious global initiative aiming to create a comprehensive reference map of all human cells—the fundamental units of life—as a basis understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease.  In this talk you will hear how the HCA is providing unprecedented understanding of human cells and tissue architecture in health and disease including reproductive biology, auto-immune disease and Covid-19 infection.

This seminar series is open to the entire scientific community and there will be a new speaker each month to reflect the breadth of science at Sanger and our scientific culture. We will include science from all Sanger Institute research programmes, scientists from different career stages, and reflect the diversity of our community.
