Marion Elizabeth Reid (born 1943 or 1944)[1] is a British scientist specializing in immunohematology who spent part of her career in the United States.
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".[2] Reid trained as a medical technologist before earning her Ph.D. in biochemistry from the CNAA in Bristol, England. She qualified as a Fellow of the Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology, now the Institute of Biomedical Science.[3] She holds a Master of Science degree in clinical science from San Francisco State University.[4]
Career
editReid directed the Laboratory of Immunohematology at the New York Blood Center.[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]

Personal life
editReid's retirement hobby of green woodworking makes her a bodger.[4] As a fundraiser in honor of Soroptimist International's Bristol chapter's centennial in 2021, Reid challenged herself to walk 100 miles a month for each month of the chapter's centenary year. She overcame the bursitis in her 76-year-old joints and exceeded her goal.[1] In 2020 she was president of Bristol SI, and published 100 Years of Sisterhood: Bristol Fashion.[19][20]
