AMHS OFFICER HONORED BY NIH PEERS

Dr. Lynn Sorbara, AMHS 2nd Vice President – Membership, was recently named “Program Director of the Month” in the newsletter of the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN), part of the National Institutes of Health. Lynn earned a PhD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1986 and later joined the staff at NIH as a Clinical Staff Scientist. In 2007, she joined the Cancer Biomarkers Research Group where she oversees and manages many cooperative agreement grants for EDRN and other programs.

Lynn and a colleague recently developed a public-private partnership program for early cancer assessment. AMHS members will remember the interesting and informative presentation on recent trends in cancer treatment that Lynn gave at the society’s general meeting in September 2017. Congratulation to Dr. Sorbara for this recognition from her peers and for the important work she is doing for medical research. (submitted by Carmine J. Spellane, AMHS).
