He is currently an emeritus professor of neurosurgery.[4] In April 2010, Adler was appointed vice president and chief of New Clinical Applications at Varian Medical Systems.[5]

Adler holds 9 United States patents and has authored over 180 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He is best known as the inventor of the CyberKnife Radiosurgical System, an image-guided radiosurgical robotic instrument[6] that noninvasively ablates tumors and lesions throughout the body. In 1991 Adler founded the company Accuray to develop and manufacture the CyberKnife.[7] He was chief executive officer from 1999 to 2002 and chief medical officer from 1991 until 2007.
