George W Reed

George W Reed is a Professor at the T.H. Chan School of Medicine within UMass Chan Medical School. His academic career spans institutions like Washington College (BA in Mathematics) and the University of Maryland (PhD in Applied Mathematics), which he applied to clinical and epidemiological research.

• Key Affiliations: Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, UMass Chan Medical School.
• Education: BA (Mathematics) from Washington College (1971-1975), PhD (Applied Mathematics) from University of Maryland (1976-1983).

Dr. Reed's research focuses on applied statistical methods (longitudinal data analysis, survival analysis, logistic regression) and nutrition/energy metabolism (weight cycling, thermic effect of food, energy balance). His work bridges mathematical modeling with real-world clinical questions in rheumatology, infectious diseases, and public health.

His recent publications highlight trends in rheumatoid arthritis (biologic therapies, cardiovascular risk), gonococcal infections (vaccine development, pathogenesis), and public health (SARS-CoV-2 serosurveys, health disparities). Many articles employ biostatistical modeling and registry-based analysis (Corrona, CorEvitas). Key subfields include clinical trials, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory disease, and health policy.

Dr. Reed collaborates extensively with rheumatologists, immunologists, and public health researchers across institutions like the University of Maryland, UMass Chan, and international RA registries. His work often addresses comparative effectiveness and real-world treatment outcomes in chronic diseases.
