Is working on understanding the role of CD8 T cells in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes (DM). CAD is a leading cause of death worldwide. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a known major risk factor for CAD; however, the underlying cause of this association is unknown. The role of CD8+ T cells in atherosclerosis is just beginning to be explored. The objective of this study is to determine transcriptomic changes in CD8+ T cells from single cell RNA sequencing data with cell surface markers (CITE-Seq) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from men and women with CAD or DM, both or neither.
