Ayden Hall is a pre-health student at Arizona State University pursuing a M.S. in Microbiology. His research at ASU's Center for Health through Microbiomes focuses on characterizing host-microbe interactions, with a particular interest in earlier disease identification and the prediction of therapy response in autoimmune conditions; areas informed by his own experience living with Crohn's disease and by his background in clinical diagnostics.

In ASU's core labs, Ayden works as a light microscopy and flow cytometry specialist, supporting researchers across shared facilities and assisting with histology preparation. He also co-manages the Arizona Nucleate chapter, where he helps academic trainees move their ideas from patents and publications into real-world ventures by connecting them with mentors, pitch practice, and the broader Arizona biotech ecosystem.

As a member of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of Arizona's Board of Directors, Ayden works to advance research, strengthen patient support, and drive community involvement and fundraising efforts for those affected by Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. He leverages his university research network and relationships with diagnostic companies to broaden the foundation's reach and impact.
