Anna MacDonald from Technology Networks has interviewed Sarah Teichmann about her research, and shares her thoughts on how women can build successful careers in science. The interview is available here:
The 2023 summer Teichlab retreat took place on 16 June, Friday at the cosy Chestnut Suite, Hinxton Hall.
The gathering began with an overview from Sarah, where she summarised the lab’s research themes, ongoing projects and exciting publications to come.
But the retreat wasn't all about work—far from it! We kicked off a lighthearted self-introduction session, where each lab member presented one slide to show their non-scientific side. It was filled with laughter and surprise as hidden talents and unexpected hobbies were revealed :-D
Our retreat gained further intellectual stimulation through the enlightening talks from guest speaker Dr. Claire Walsh, who shared her fascinating work in HiP-CT imaging.
In the afternoon, people dove into breakout sessions with report-backs, discussing intriguing questions as below:
How can we examine the effects of ageing across datasets?
What experiment would you do with an unlimited budget?
How to effectively use large language models in biological science?
What are the best In vitro validation models and in vivo comparisons?
As the day drew to a close, Sarah graciously hosted a delightful BBQ at her house, where lab members and their families came together to enjoy delicious food and relaxed conversations. It was a perfect moment to unwind, bond, and appreciate the unique connections we share beyond the lab.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all participants who contributed to making this lab retreat an intellectually invigorating and socially enriching experience. Together, we are committed to scientific excellence, collaboration, and celebration.
Cheers to memories made and the discoveries yet to come!

The Teichlab had a wonderful time at the lab Christmas lunch, held at Middleton's Steakhouse & Grill in Cambridge on 9 Dec, 2022.
The festive spirit was in full swing as we gathered together enjoying the delicious food and great company. The highlight of the event was the Secret Santa gift exchange, bringing lots of laughter and surprises!
It was a joyful celebration, filled with warmth, cheers, and the spirit of the holiday season. We also took a moment to raise our glasses and toast to the hard work and achievements of the past year, celebrating our collective dedication and accomplishments.

Sarah was awarded the Mary Lyon Medal 2018 at the Genetics Society Scientific meeting for outstanding research in genetics
Congrats for the 4 EMBO fellowships, a record in the group!
Valentine, Kylie and Tapio published in Science Immunology! We had dinner to celebrate
A few members of the group were at the 'Conversazione Society' dinner at St Edmunds. Sarah spoke on the topic of 'Women in Science'.
In the front row in Jing Su, a TeichLab alumna from the early years at LMB, and the St Edmunds alumna who invited Sarah.

Valentine svensson and kylie james
Valentine and Kylie were co-first authors on an exciting new paper about T-Cell differentiation, which has now been accepted in Science Immunology.
They were duly presented with the honourary and much-envied plushy Neuron and Lymphocyte for contributions to dry- and wet lab work respectively.
We have some exciting new equipment in the lab. The Teichmann Lab is the only lab in Europe to have the latest Zephyr G3 NGS Workstation!
ZEPHYR G3 NGS WORKSTATION #1 FOR PRE-PCR SINGLE CELL WORK
CALIPER GX AND ZEPHYR G3 NGS WORKSTATION #2 for post-pcr single cell work
PCRMAX ALPHA CYCLER 4 WITH A CAPACITY OF SIX 96-WELL PLATES AND TWO 384-WELL PLATES
In London on 13 and 14 October, 2016, a collaborative community of world-leading scientists [met to discuss how to build a Human Cell Atlas — a collection of maps that will describe and define the cellular basis of health and disease.
The Teichmann Lab will play a central role in this exciting new project
Felipe has published a review paper in Human Molecular Genetics about recent advances in immunity as related to single cell technologies.

Sarah has been awarded an ICSB (International Society for Computational Biology) Fellowship. Congratulations!
We went on a cruise down the Cam in the Georgina.
Mike and Tapio are set to host a seminar on the methods they developed for a recent paper in Nature.
Details here
Sarah was recently profiled in a Nature Methods article to accompany Mike and Tapio's TCR sequencing paper
Tomi, Mike, Valentina and Tapio are celebrating their papers! Each paper was rewarded with a white blood cell and a DNA plushie :)
Be Bold. Be Brilliant. Be Kind.
