Barbara Wendelberger

Barbara Wendelberger is a Senior Statistical Scientist at Berry Consultants. She earned her PhD in 2016 from the University of Wisconsin. Her doctoral research focused on a Variational Bayesian method for estimating neural effective connectivity networks using information from multiple imaging modalities. While at Wisconsin, Barbara collaborated extensively with other investigators and academic departments to explore statistical methodology in a variety of biomedical applications. She was a predoctoral trainee on NIH training grants administered through the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, the Computation and Informatics in Biology and Medicine Program, and the Clinical Neuroengineering Training Program. Previously, Barbara was a member of the Genomics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, participating in both sequencing technology and metagenomics research. Barbara received her BS (Mathematics, Biological Sciences) from the University of Notre Dame in 2010 and her MS (Statistics, Biostatistics emphasis) from the University of Wisconsin in 2013. Her research interests continue to focus on data-driven inference at the juncture between statistics, mathematics, biology, and medicine.
