He then worked for two years as a postbaccalaureate research fellow at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the NIH where he studied prion proteins and molecular chaperones. Now, as a medical student, his research interests lie at the intersection of different organ systems. He is particularly interested in how sleep modulates hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and how this impacts the subsequent development of atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/mcalpinelab2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/617\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-18-at-1.57.42-PM-1024&#215;992.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Screenshot 2025-11-18 at 1.57.42\u202fPM&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_blurb _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lena Gaebel, MSc<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Research Associate<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:lena.gaebel@mssm.edu\">lena.gaebel@mssm.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lena has particular interest in immune cell crosstalk in the context of neurodegeneration.
