Florence Rena Sabin (1871 to 1953) was an American physician and medical scientist, born in Central City, Colorado, who is known for her work on the development of the lymphatic system and later for public health reform in Colorado. She graduated from Smith College in 1893 and from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1900, where she worked with the anatomist Franklin Mall and produced a three-dimensional model of the brain stem. She was the first woman to hold a full professorship at Johns Hopkins, the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1925 and the first woman to head a department at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
