Long Bio
Shelley Haydel is an infectious disease microbiologist researching new antibiotics to fight resistant infections and how bacteria cause lung infections and wound infections. Her research team studies tuberculosis and other related bacteria, MRSA, and other infectious bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. She and her research team are also studying how and why these bacteria cause disease in humans so that they can develop new drugs to halt infections.
Professor Haydel and her team are also working with engineers and chemists to create an instrument that takes less than 2 hours to determine if an infection is resistant to antibiotics and to develop skin glues to prevent wound infections.

Haydel is currently the Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs in the School of Life Sciences (SOLS), overseeing undergraduate degree programs and academic affairs, in coordination with the Director of the School of Life Sciences. As Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs, Haydel is focused on the ensuring quality in all facets of our SOLS undergraduate programs, increasing experiential learning opportunities for our undergraduate students, and initiating and advancing faculty and undergraduate education synergy efforts.
From 2017 - 2020, Haydel was the director of the School of Life Sciences Undergraduate Research (SOLUR) program, serving ASU's undergraduate life science students as they begin and advance their research experiences.
