Warren Jones, PhD, is the Director of Research at Marcus Autism Center. Dr. Jones is also the Norman Nien Distinguished Chair in Autism and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. In addition, he is a core faculty member at the Emory Center for Translational Social Neuroscience.

Dr. Jones completed his doctorate in neuroscience at Yale University. He currently directs the Social Neuroscience Laboratory at Marcus Autism Center.

Research in the lab focuses on mapping and quantifying the developmental course of social disability in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from birth through young adulthood. The goal of this research is to understand the origins and development of ASD and to inform better treatment practices by developing tools for objective early diagnosis and prediction of outcome for individuals with autism.
