Dr. Haley is a recognized leader in the field of neurobiology, whose research has been published in the Journal of Neurochemistry and various textbooks and manuals in experimental medicine.  He is also a visiting assistant professor in neurobiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.  His research interests involve studying neuron-glia metabolic interactions and cyclic AMP

External Research Support:
Haley received a National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation Grant as principal investigator.  The grant enabled the purchase of new equipment necessary for the continued study of the interaction of astrocytes (2001).

In 2004 Haley received a U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance Grant as principal investigator. The grant will permit the acquisition of new equipment to promote forensic science education. The grant will enable the College to further develop forensic curricular offerings to prepare students for careers in forensic laboratories such as the medical examiners office or state forensic science labs.  The new equipment is necessary to allow the College to offer courses related to this growing field.
