Bio
Elaine F. Reed is an immunogenetisist and immunologist who joined the UCLA faculty in 1999 as Professor of Pathology. Dr. Reed directs the UCLA Immunogenetics Center, Department of Pathology, and provides clinical and academic leadership of the diagnostic, training, and research activities of the Immunogenetics Program. Dr. Reed earned her M.S. and Ph.D. in Immunology at Columbia University, New York. She was a post-doctoral researcher in the Division of Immunogenetics, Department of Pathology at Columbia University and trained in the field of Immunogenetics and Histocompatibility Testing. Dr. Reed was appointed as an Instructor in the Department of Pathology, Columbia University in 1987. In 1988 she was promoted to Assistant Professor and became Associate Professor in 1994. In 1994, she became a board certified Laboratory Director in Immunogenetics by the American Board of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics. From 1986-1999, Dr. Reed served as the Associate Director of the Immunogenetics Laboratory at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York. Since joining the UCLA faculty she has been actively been involved in graduate and medical education. A major focus of her work is the establishment of a translational research program for the development of biomarkers for diagnosis and prevention of transplant rejection. She applies information obtained in basic research to the generation of new immunological tests that will be used in the clinical practice of transplantation.
