She conducted studies on viruses in cats and horses, with her characterisation of different equine viruses being her most significant scientific contribution. Other achievements include becoming head of the department of veterinary pathology and bacteriology, being chairwoman of the NSW Animal Welfare Advisory Council, an honorary Veterinary Science degree at the University of Sydney, and being a co-discoverer of viral interference.




Early life

Sabine collaborated on research into the viral interference phenomenon with Alick Isaacs during the year he spent in Burnet's laboratory in 1956. Sabine later switched her research interests from human virology to virology in animals. Sabine was awarded her doctorate from University College Hospital Medical School in London.
She married Terry Sabine, a physicist, in 1956.
From 1973 she was a member of the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney, where she was the first virologist appointed to a veterinary school in Australia and in 1991 and 1992 she was Head of the Department of Veterinary Pathology. In 1976 her lab discovered and characterised the different equine herpes viruses which affected racehorses.
Sabine retired in 1993.
