Shane Weaver

Shane Weaver, PhD, is a cellular physiologist in a university physiology department who investigates how tissues switch between metabolic fuels. In the laboratory, he measures mitochondrial respiration and protein signaling to understand how nutrient availability alters cellular efficiency under oxidative stress. Weaver, who lives with his partner and two indoor cats, regularly examines commercial claims regarding free radicals and cellular recovery through academic seminars.
