Marion Elizabeth Reid (born 1943 or 1944)[1] is a British scientist specialising in immunohematology and author based in Bristol. She has worked in both the United Kingdom and the United States.[2]
Early life and education
editReid was born in Winchester, England. At age 10, she was told she was "incapable of being taught" and "would have a hard time holding a job".[3]
Reid trained as a medical technologist at the North East Blood Metropolitan Transfusion Service in Brentwood before earning her PhD in biochemistry from the CNAA in Bristol. She qualified as a Fellow of the Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology, now the Institute of Biomedical Science.[2] She holds a Master of Science (MSc) in clinical science from San Francisco State University.[4]
Career
editReid directed the Laboratory of Immunohematology at the New York Blood Center, where she led the transition from serologic methods for characterizing red cell antigens and antibodies to a combination of serology and DNA-based genotyping of blood group antigens.[5] She published hundreds of articles and was described by reviewers as a "scientist and world-renowned immunohematologist".[6] Her laboratory identified novel blood group antigens and alleles in several different ethnic groups.[7][8][9][10] She holds a patent for a DNA-based method to identify compatible donors for patients requiring blood transfusions.[11]
Personal life
editReid lives in Clifton, Bristol.[12]
Reid's retirement hobby of green woodworking makes her a bodger.[4] In 2020 she was president of Bristol Soroptimist International, and published 100 Years of Sisterhood: Bristol Fashion.[13][14]
