Since 2005 she has been a teaching fellow and Director of Studies at Trinity College, Cambridge, and a Principal Associate at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge since 2013.
Teichmann"s research investigates gene expression and protein complex assembly using both wet laboratory and computational biology techniques. In particular her research group: Teichmann"s research has been funded by the European Council (European Research Council), the Medical Council (Medical Research Council), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Council (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council), the Wellcome Trust, the European Molecular Biology Organization (European Molecular Biology Organization), the Framework Programmes for and Technological Development and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (Cooperation in Science and Technology).
