During the Second World War, she served on the Commission on Streptococcal and Staphylococcal Diseases of the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board, and her willingness to answer queries and type streptococcal samples from around the country, and later from around the world, earned her laboratory at RIMR the nickname, “the Scotland Yard of streptococcal mysteries.” After the war, in 1946, she was promoted to an associate member at RIMR and became a full member and professor in 1958.https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/five-rockefeller-trailblazers/1008/thumbnail.jp

Sabin with her colleagues at The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, ca. 1930s In New York, Sabin led a group of younger investigators and continued her studies on the role of the monocyte and other white blood cells in the defense of the body against infections. Sabin\u27s team participated in an inter-institutional program organized by the National Tuberculosis Association\u27s Medical Research Committee to integrate bacteriological, chemical, and biological studies being carried out in pharmaceutical companies, universities, and federal and private research institutes. These research efforts, between 1925 and 1938, yielded a much better understanding of the disease.
