What is the subject of the sentence which the expression "led by chemical biologist David Liu" is in?
It seems to me that either "led by"(before "chemical biologist David") should be deleted or adding "a team" before "led by ... David."
Am I on the right track?
=================
In late 2018, led by chemical biologist David Liu of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, received an e-mail from across the country: in Seattle, a team led by microbiologist Joseph Mougous at the University of Washington had discovered a strange enzyme. It was a toxin made by the bacterium Burkholderia cenocepacia — and when it encountered the DNA base C, it converted it to a U. Because U, which is not commonly found in DNA, behaves like a T, the enzymes that replicate the cell’s DNA copy it as a T, effectively converting a C in the genome sequence to a T.
