Beverly L. Davidson, Ph.D., is a Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research primarily focuses on genetic diseases that impact the brain, investigating the mechanisms by which mutant gene products contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. Her team employs advanced molecular methods, sequencing, and imaging techniques using animal models to understand these conditions better. Dr. Davidson's lab is dedicated to the development of next-generation therapeutics for inherited disorders, including engineering novel gene therapy vector capsids and cargo tailored for tissue and cell-specific treatments. She is affiliated with the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and has collaborated extensively within the Graduate Group of Cell and Molecular Biology and Neuroscience. Dr. Davidson has contributed significantly to the field of gene therapy and continues to explore innovative solutions for human treatment of genetic conditions affecting the nervous system.
