In 1981 she received her doctorate under Ilja Pjatetskij-Shapiro ( Factorization of birational morphisms between 4-folds ). As a post-doctoral student, she was at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1981/82 (and again in 1984, 2007) .

From 1982 she was at the Bar Ilan University , where she is professor and head of the Emmy Noether Mathematics Institute. From 1997 to 2001 she was head of the faculty. From 2001 to 2005 she was Vice President of the university responsible for research and then a member of the Senate.

Teicher deals with algebraic geometry (topology of algebraic varieties, fundamental groups, algebraic surfaces and 4-manifolds), algebra (braid group, representation theory of finite groups) and various areas of applied mathematics (group theory in cryptography, computer graphics, surface reconstruction) and applications of Mathematics in neuroscience (such as analysis of EEG curves).

She is co-editor of the Journal of the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and board member of the EMS Education Committee. She is Vice President of the International Commission for Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). She is on the Council of the US-Israel Binational Science Foundation.
