She went on to pioneer single-cell genomics and data science analysis of human tissues, and in 2016 co-founded the international Human Cell Atlas project, a global effort to map all the cells in the human body.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Bertie Gottgens, Director of the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (CSCI) said: \u201cIn parallel, CSCI delivered landmark single\u2011cell studies illuminating embryonic development, and so we were absolutely delighted when Sarah joined the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute in 2024. This exciting new collaboration with GSK will broaden the impact of genomics, imaging and data science approaches, leading to better diagnostics and more targeted treatments for a wide range of diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Michalovich, VP Translational Sciences, Respiratory, Immunology &amp; Inflammation at GSK said: \u201cI am delighted that we are further expanding our collaboration with Cambridge, bringing together leading academic expertise in single\u2011cell and spatial technologies with GSK\u2019s R&amp;D capabilities. By embedding cutting\u2011edge single\u2011cell approaches and multimodal data integration into our translational biomarker strategies, we will generate deeper biological insights and with the aim to accelerate delivery of our pipeline, and ultimately, of improving outcomes for patients with unmet medical needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more about this pioneering collaboration in GSK\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsk.com\/en-gb\/behind-the-science-magazine\/gsk-teichmann-lab-collaboration\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Behind the Science<\/a> magazine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GSK is investing nearly \u00a310 million in this ground-breaking alliance that brings together the expertise of world-leading researchers&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42972,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[20784],"tags":[2096,11079,21761,20785,1921,21763,21762,21660,21767,21766,21765,21764],"class_list":["post-42971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gsk","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-genomics","tag-glaxosmithkline-gsk-glaxosmithkline-gsk-bertie-gottgens","tag-gsk","tag-healthcare","tag-sarah-teichmann-artificial-intelligence","tag-sarah-teichmann-bertie-gottgens","tag-school-of-clinical-medicine","tag-school-of-the-biological-sciences","tag-school-of-the-biological-sciences-cambridge-stem-cell-institute","tag-stem-cells-cambridge-stem-cell-institute","tag-stem-cells-healthcare"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
