Biography
Dr. Crivelli is a Staff Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and co-Principal Investigator of an interagency collaboration between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) called MVP CHAMPION (Million Veterans Program: Computational Health Analytics for Medical Precision to Improve Outcomes Now). Her team focuses on developing personalized diagnostic strategies to enhance healthcare for Veterans, with specific attention to suicide prevention, obstructive sleep apnea, and lung cancer. Her research primarily revolves around two key areas: 1) utilizing large language models (LLMs) like GPT to extract information and detect patterns from electronic health records spanning 20 years and more than 23 million Veterans, and 2) integrating social and environmental factors that influence health into comprehensive disease models. These models incorporate various types of data, ranging from genomic information to societal-level factors, with the aim of advancing precision medicine and identifying geographic regions with higher vulnerabilities.
