University of Delaware Assistant Professor Jeff Mugridge is studying eraser enzymes that can remove important chemical groups from mRNA, the molecules in our bodies that carry instructions and code to tell our cells how to function. The work has the potential to inform treatment options for various human diseases where these eraser enzymes misbehave.
