Dr. Davidson's research 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.
