Statistical Analysis of Proteomics, Metabolomics, and Lipidomics Data Using Mass Spectrometry

Susmita Datta received her PhD in statistics from the University of Georgia.  She is a tenured professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Florida. Before joining the University of Florida she was a professor in the Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics and a distinguished university scholar at the University of Louisville. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), American Statistical Association (ASA), and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute (ISI). Her research interests include bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, clustering and classification techniques, infectious disease modeling, statistical issues in population biology, systems biology, survival analysis, and multi state models. She is past president of the Caucus for Women in Statistics, and she actively supports research and education for women in STEM fields.Bart Mertens received his PhD in statistical sciences from University College London, Department of Statistical Sciences, on statistical analysis methods for spectrometry data. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Medical Statistics and Bioinformatics of the Leiden University Medical Centre, where he has been working in both research and consulting for statistical analysis methodology with mass spectrometry proteomic data for more than 10 years.
