Jennifer Reed

Jennifer Reed is the Karen and William Monfre Professor and Harvey D. Spangler Faculty Scholar at the University of Wisconsin Madison College of Engineering, with primary and additional affiliations in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. Her research focuses on systems biology, metabolic engineering, and microbial interactions using computational and experimental approaches.

Her work involves metabolic flux analysis, constraint-based modeling, and genotype-phenotype relationships, with applications in bioremediation, health, and chemical production. The research integrates experimental data to refine microbial network models and develop strain design algorithms.

Recent articles highlight trends in computational methods for strain design, metabolic engineering, and microbial community analysis. Funding sources include the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Energy, and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, among others.
