Sarah Amalia Teichmann (born 1975)FMedSci is Head of Cellular Genetics at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and a visiting research group leader at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). She is also a Director of Research (equivalent to Professor) in the Cavendish Laboratory, at the University of Cambridge and a Senior Research Fellow-Elect at Churchill College, Cambridge.

Teichmann was educated at the European School, Karlsruhe in Germany from 1981 to 1993 where she completed the European Baccalaureate in 1993. Teichmann went on to study Natural Sciences (Biochemistry) at Trinity College, Cambridge and was awarded a first class Bachelor of Arts degree in 1996. In 1999, she completed her PhD supervised by Cyrus Chothia at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) on genome evolution.

Following her PhD, Teichmann did postdoctoral research supervised by Janet Thornton at University College London and funded by the Beit Memorial Fellowships for Medical Research. From 2001-2012, she was a Medical Research Council (MRC) Programme Leader, studying patterns in protein interactions and transcriptional regulatory networks.
