Profile

Biography

Brandon S. Shaw has a distinguished tenure in sport and exercise sciences, health research and health management as an Executive Director of IPAP, Co-director of the Non-Communicable Disease Intervention Research Unit (NCDIRU), and Audit Chair and Board Member at the Medical Research Council (SA). Previously, he was appointed as Full Professor at three universities including a 306th QS ranked university and Vice-Dean of Research, Internationalisation and Postgraduate Studies of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Johannesburg (a top 500 faculty internationally). Brandon S. Shaw was also an Associate Professor at the Tshwane University of Technology. In addition to holding six degrees, two of which are earned PhDs by research (one from a 306th QS ranked university), he has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles and presented/co-authored numerous keynotes and presentations in Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle-East and North and South America. His research primarily focuses on finding practical solutions to increase physical activity and prevent and rehabilitate non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as Alzheimer's disease, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, chronic kidney disease, stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, through practice and policies - effectively, equitably and at scale.
