Juliet Beni Edgcomb, MD PhD, is the Associate Director of the Semel Institute for Mental Health Informatics and Data Science (MINDS) Hub and an Assistant Professor-in-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. She is a child psychiatrist, physician informaticist, and health services researcher. Dr. Edgcomb has expertise in providing psychiatric care for adults and children with mental health conditions, as well as research experience in using clinical data to inform precision approaches to youth mental health. Her research focus builds upon a PhD in Social Psychology with an area of specialization in quantitative methods and computational modeling of patient-centered research outcomes, followed by postdoctoral training in child mental health intervention research methods. As Principal Investigator she has led studies supported by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, American Psychiatric Association, and Thrasher Research Fund. She spearheads a study supported by the Foundation for the National Institute of Health (FNIH) Deeda Blair Research Initiative to develop weakly supervised and deep learning approaches to detect signals of childhood-onset depression and psychosis in medical records. Her passion is to narrow the research-to-practice gap between clinical informatics and child mental health care, and, in turn, improve the lives of young people with mental illness. Dr. Edgcomb supervises child psychiatry fellows on-call and in the UCLA Child OCD, Anxiety & Tic Disorders clinic.
