bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, in 1964 He earned his Ph.D in biochemistry at Duke University in 1969, then spent two years doing postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Francisco, where he studied the structure of eukaryotic RNA polymerases with William J Rutter He joined the faculty of the University of Kansas as an assistant professor of biochemistry in 1971, was promoted to associate professor, and then to full professor in 1981 In 1984, he became chair of the Department of Biochemistry, (Source: Ashvini C Ganesh) and served in that capacity until he was named Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1995 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
