Dr. James Adams is a professor at Arizona State University and a leader in its autism research program, with decades of work focused on identifying biological contributors to autism and advancing evidence-based interventions. His path into the field began after his daughter was diagnosed with severe autism and intellectual disability, motivating his pursuit of research aimed at understanding root causes rather than managing symptoms alone.
His research explores gut dysbiosis, yeast and bacterial overgrowth, microbial metabolites, and microbiota transplant therapy, with ongoing efforts to develop practical diagnostic tools and refine treatment approaches through clinical studies.
