Speaker Profile:

Dr. Vieland is a statistical geneticist with more than 20 years of experience in human genetics. The primary focus of her research is the rigorous measurement of statistical evidence in biomedical applications. She is the developer of the PPL framework, a novel class of statistical methods for measuring evidence in gene mapping/gene identification studies and for characterizing the genetic architecture of complex human genetic disorders. She has published widely on statistical genetic methodology, on computational methods in support of new methodology, and on applications to human diseases, particularly but not exclusively psychiatric disorders. She is the Director of the Battelle Center for Mathematical Medicine, which houses investigators from multiple quantitative and computational backgrounds as well as a state-of-the-art parallel computing facility and a staff of dedicated MS-level computer scientists. Over the course of her career she has held multiple NIH grants, including two Career Development Awards in addition to numerous R01s.
