Sean Seyler

Sean Seyler is a Senior Project Manager with ASU Health whose work focuses on integrating research, innovation, and education across the ASU Health ecosystem. He designs and coordinates cross-cutting initiatives, linking faculty research, strategic partnerships, and translational research infrastructure to transform scientific discovery into measurable health outcomes.

Sean collaborates closely with ASU’s Knowledge Enterprise and colleagues across the university, along with clinical and industry partners, on strategic planning, translational research facilitation, and systems and infrastructure design. His work includes developing faculty support structures, collaborative frameworks, and knowledge-integration tools that strengthen ASU Health’s capacity for interdisciplinary research and translational impact.

Before joining ASU Health, Sean collaborated with the School of Molecular Sciences on research in analytical chemistry and microfluidics, developing new methods in separation science, translational assays, and molecular diagnostics. His research and laboratory work during the COVID-19 pandemic deepened his understanding of how discovery moves from bench to application and continues to inform his efforts at the interface of research and innovation. He also helped lead early foundational/translational research and engineering strategy for an NIH-funded MedTech venture, work that strengthened his interest in how scientific design principles translate into clinical impact.

Trained as a computational physicist, Sean brings a perspective that links theoretical, computational, and experimental science to the infrastructure and ecosystems that translate discovery into improved health and social outcomes. His work integrates foundational research in molecular and biological physics, technology-enabled learning, and medical technologies into a unified view of how scientific discovery, education, translational research, and scientific and health literacy interact with a complex, evolving ecosystem of science and society. Through this lens, he explores how understanding nature’s principles can lead to solutions that improve human health and well-being.
