(NOVEMBER 10, 2022) Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Margaret Doyle, Ph.D., was featured in a Vanderbilt University Medical Center VUMC Reporter article about a study she authored that showed an association between three types of CD4+ T helper cells and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among people with HIV infection, which was recently published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Doyle's co-author Suman Kundu, D.Sc., research assistant professor of cardiovascular medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said this is one of the largest human studies of its type to report the association, and the research suggests that future studies should drill down even further into the role of antigen specificity in the T cells, to develop further data that may be used for improving CVD risk prediction.
