Mapping the human body, one cell at a time
Host: Tapio Lönnberg (taplon@utu.fi)
Coffee and sandwiches served before the seminar. First come, first served!
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 her group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in 2001. In 2013, she moved to the Wellcome Genome Campus her group was joint between the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. In 2016, Sarah was appointed the role of Head of the Cellular Genetics programme at the Sanger Institute. Subsequently, in April 2024, Sarah transitioned her group and was appointed as Professor of Stem Cell Medicine at the University of Cambridge, Department of Medicine.
Sarah’s laboratory develops and applies cell atlas technologies to decipher human tissue architecture, with a particular focus on how cellular diversity is generated in the immune system and through development. Sarah is co-founder and co-leader of the international Human Cell Atlas consortium which aims to create reference maps for cells across all human tissues and has grown to include over three thousand members across the world. She also co-directs the CIFAR MacMillan Multiscale Human research programme. Her work has been recognised by numerous awards, including the EMBO Gold Medal, Genetics Society Mary Lyons Award, Biochemical Society GlaxoSmithKline Award, the FEBS|EMBO Women in Science Award among others. She is an EMBO Member, ISCB Fellow, and Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and Royal Society.
