William Parker earned a PhD in Chemistry in 1992, and studied biochemistry, microbiology and immunology at Duke University for almost 30 years, and is now a visiting scholar at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Best known for the discovery of the function of the human vermiform appendix (a safe-house for bacteria), William has spent almost a decade studying the impact of acetaminophen combined with oxidative stress on neurodevelopment. He now has work published in PLoS One, the European Journal of Pediatrics, Minerva Pediatrics, Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics, and other peer reviewed journals evaluating the role of acetaminophen in the induction of autism. William has published 150 peer reviewed papers, and his work now includes education and outreach regarding the risks of acetaminophen exposure during neurodevelopment.
