Todd Sandrin serves as Professor and Dean in ASU New College and as Vice Provost at ASU's West Campus. Prior to joining ASU in 2008, he held academic positions at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and University of Arizona. 

Professor Sandrin's research resides at intersections of microbiology and chemistry.  As a broadly trained microbiologist with expertise applying state-of-the-art approaches, he is interested in ways to: 1) enhance beneficial aspects of microorganisms (e.g., biodegradation of harmful chemical pollutants) and 2) develop approaches to mitigate negative effects of microorganisms (e.g., disease, microbial contamination of water).  Tools his group commonly employs fall within the realm of proteomics and functional genomics.  A proteomics and functional genomics core facility at ASU's  West campus facilitates this type of research.

At ASU's West campus, he teaches courses including "The Microbial Universe," "Cell Biology Laboratory," "Individualized Instruction," and "ASU 101: The ASU Experience."
