Prof. Weaver is the divisional dean for the science and mathematics departments within the College, which includes supervising 10 different departments and programs. As a professor of molecular biosciences, he teaches courses in introductory molecular biology and the molecular biology of cancer. In his research laboratory, undergraduates and graduate students have participated in research on the molecular biology of a baculovirus that infects caterpillars. Prof. Weaver is the author of many scientific papers resulting from research funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the American Cancer Society. He has also coauthored two genetics textbooks and has written two articles on molecular biology in the National Geographic Magazine. He has spent two years performing research in European laboratories as an American Cancer Society Research Scholar, one year in Zurich, Switzerland, and one year in Oxford, England.
