Congratulations to Dr. Taegun Kwon from the Genomics Core for becoming a sub-awardee on an R01 grant, collaborating with Dr. Daniel Trott of UTA to explore how senescent CD8+ T cells impact vascular aging and stiffness. Dr. Kwon will utilize his expertise in spatial and single-cell genomics to analyze transcriptomic changes in artery cells at a single-cell resolution, aiming to identify key transcripts involved in arterial aging influenced by T cells. This project integrates studies on T-cell immune system aging, age-related chronic inflammation, and vascular pathology to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes.
