Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Her primary areas of investigation include Molecular biology, RNA interference, Genetic enhancement, Gene silencing and Genetics. Her Molecular biology research includes elements of Transgene, Viral vector, Recombinant DNA, Transduction and In vivo. The concepts of her RNA interference study are interwoven with issues in Cancer research, Gene knockdown, Mutant, Huntington's disease and Cell biology.

Her research integrates issues of Lung transplantation, Clinical course, Bioinformatics, Immunology and Pathology in her study of Genetic enhancement. Her Gene silencing research includes themes of RNA, Small hairpin RNA, Small interfering RNA, RNA polymerase II and Transcription. Her work on microRNA, Allele and Gene as part of her general Genetics study is frequently connected to RNA polymerase III, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Her most cited work include:

  • RNA polymerase III transcribes human microRNAs (1114 citations)
  • Transvascular delivery of small interfering RNA to the central nervous system (995 citations)
  • siRNA-mediated gene silencing in vitro and in vivo (932 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Molecular biology, Cell biology, Virology, Genetic enhancement and RNA interference. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Transgene, Recombinant DNA, Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, Mutant and In vivo. Beverly L. Davidson focuses mostly in the field of Virology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Viral vector and, in certain cases, Adenoviridae.

Her Genetic enhancement research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Immunology and Bioinformatics. Her RNA interference study combines topics in areas such as Small hairpin RNA, Gene silencing, microRNA and Huntington's disease. Gene silencing is a primary field of her research addressed under Genetics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (31.47%)
  • Cell biology (21.55%)
  • Virology (17.89%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Cell biology (21.55%)
  • Huntington's disease (10.34%)
  • RNA interference (18.32%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Huntington's disease, RNA interference, Genetics and Gene. Her Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell, Immunology, Receptor, Transduction and Spinocerebellar ataxia. Her work deals with themes such as Gene knockdown, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1, microRNA, Gene silencing and Deep cerebellar nuclei, which intersect with RNA interference.

In her work, HEK 293 cells, Virus, Gene expression, Small molecule and Three prime untranslated region is strongly intertwined with Computational biology, which is a subfield of Gene. Her study in Huntingtin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both mTORC1, Molecular biology and Trinucleotide repeat expansion. As a member of one scientific family, Beverly L. Davidson mostly works in the field of Genetic enhancement, focusing on Viral vector and, on occasion, Virology and Pathology.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Lysosomal storage diseases. (228 citations)
  • Lysosomal storage diseases. (228 citations)
  • CRISPR/Cas9 Editing of the Mutant Huntingtin Allele In Vitro and In Vivo (148 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Beverly L. Davidson mainly focuses on Genetics, Huntingtin, RNA interference, Mutant and Molecular biology. Her study in the field of Gene silencing, Untranslated region, Transcriptome and Gene is also linked to topics like Retrotransposon. Beverly L. Davidson has researched Gene silencing in several fields, including Ataxin 7 and microRNA.

She combines subjects such as Mutant protein and Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1 with her study of RNA interference. Her Mutant research focuses on Transgene and how it connects with Small interfering RNA. Her research investigates the connection between Viral vector and topics such as Electroretinography that intersect with problems in Genetic enhancement.
