Lilith Oldenbüttel is a Visiting Student Researcher at Stanford University’s Leeper Lab, where she focuses on the role of CD47 in Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP)-associated atherosclerosis. Her research aims to assess CD47 expression in coronary and carotid plaques from CHIP mutation carriers, integrating immunohistochemistry (IHC) findings with plasma proteomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to investigate immune evasion, plaque progression, and potential therapeutic targets.
Beyond her research at Stanford, Lilith is a 5th-year medical student at the Technical University of Munich, where she is pursuing her doctoral thesis on CHIP and coronary artery disease. Her academic background also includes preclinical medical studies at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
