Olga Vitek's research interests are in statistical and computational methods for high-dimensional molecular biology, in particular for mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Methodological aspects of her work include Bayesian modeling, statistical computing, and experimental design. Before joining the Purdue faculty, she was a post-doctoral fellow in the Aebersold Lab at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle.
