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

James Adjaye spends much of his time researching Induced pluripotent stem cell, Cell biology, SOX2, Transcriptome and KLF4. His Induced pluripotent stem cell research incorporates themes from Cell culture, Cellular differentiation, Somatic cell, Reprogramming and Mesenchymal stem cell. His studies deal with areas such as Embryonic stem cell, Downregulation and upregulation, Cell type and Immunology as well as Cell biology.

He focuses mostly in the field of SOX2, narrowing it down to topics relating to Homeobox protein NANOG and, in certain cases, LIN28. His Transcriptome study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics. The KLF4 study which covers In vivo that intersects with Mutation and DNA repair.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • HIF1α Modulates Cell Fate Reprogramming Through Early Glycolytic Shift and Upregulation of PDK1–3 and PKM2 (165 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Cellular differentiation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Induced pluripotent stem cell, Alzheimer's disease, Transcriptome and Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Adult stem cell, Reprogramming, Downregulation and upregulation, Messenger RNA and microRNA, which intersect with Cell biology. His Reprogramming research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mitochondrion, Regenerative medicine, Cellular differentiation and Somatic cell.

His Downregulation and upregulation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Embryonic stem cell, Proteome and Cell fate determination. James Adjaye has included themes like Stem cell, Neural stem cell and Neuroscience in his Induced pluripotent stem cell study. His studies in Alzheimer's disease integrate themes in fields like Cell culture, GSK3B, GSK-3 and Proteasome.
