In addition to her research pursuits, Dr. Reed is passionate about the clinical care of individuals inherited bone marrow failure syndromes and sees patients in the Dana-Farber Bone Marrow Failure Clinic and the Boston Children’s Hospital Hematology Clinic. Outside of the lab and the clinic, she enjoys getting away from the city and spending time in the mountains skiing, hiking, and fishing.
