Welcome to the Davidson Laboratory
Beverly L. Davidson, Ph.D.
University of Iowa
Current Research Focus:
Research in my laboratory is focused on inherited genetic diseases that
cause central nervous system dysfunction, with a focus on (1) recessive, childhood onset
neurodegenerative disease, in particular the lysosomal storage diseases
such as the mucopolysaccharidoses and Battens disease; and (2) dominant genetic diseases for example the
CAG repeat disorders, Huntington’s disease and spinal cerebellar ataxia
type I, and (3), understanding how noncoding RNAs participate in neural
development and neurodegenerative diseases processes. (more)
