Joanne Reed is Director of the Centre for Immunology and Allergy Research at the Westmead Institute and Adjunct Associate Professor at University of Sydney and University of New South Wales. She has a long-standing interest in autoimmune disease, particularly the origins and pathogenesis of autoantibodies. Joanne completed her PhD at Flinders University, Adelaide in 2009, studying autoimmune diseases, Sjogren’s syndrome and lupus. She was then awarded an NHMRC CJ Martin Fellowship for postdoctoral training at New York University, where she worked on neonatal lupus. In 2013 she returned to Australia to develop genomic technology to study autoimmunity at Australian National University and the Garvan Institute. In 2021, Joanne established the Autoimmunity and Amyloidosis lab at WIMR. Her team has developed cutting edge genomic approaches to study patient cells responsible for severe disease symptoms, with the goal of identifying precision therapies.
