Richard R. Young

Richard R. Young is a biochemist known for his work in DNA research. He has contributed to understanding how DNA is chemically modified and how these changes influence gene activity and cell function. His research has advanced the knowledge of epigenetics, which explores how environmental factors can affect gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Young’s insights help scientists better understand genetic regulation and have implications for medicine, such as developing treatments for diseases influenced by epigenetic changes.
