Why I Love ACS

Although my scientific intrigue and experiences have covered a spectrum of therapeutic areas, I started my career in cancer research because of how it has impacted my family. Research is essential as we strive to end cancer as we know it, for everyone, and I am pleased to play an integral role in funding the best science!”

At ACS since 2023

As Research Engagement Manager for Extramural Discovery Science (EDS), Sabrina Times, PhD, MPH, is part of the Research Impact and Engagement team under the direction of Kristen Cincotta, PhD. Times supports volunteer engagement and relationship building, research portfolio analysis, and scientific communications.

Research focus and accomplishments

Times' research experience has centered around population studies, with an emphasis on healthcare delivery, comparative effectiveness research, health outcomes studies, community-based participatory and practice-based research, and health equity research. Her favorite aspect of this work is the "bench-top to bedside" translation and optimizing patient care.

Publications

While serving as the American Cancer Society (ACS) Research Historian, Times wrote ACS Research Accomplishments Reports highlighting the role ACS funding played in major drug and target discoveries and implementation of health-related government policies.
