Profile
Biography
Brandon S. Shaw, PhD, PhD is an internationally recognised healthcare professional, and academic and research leader with over 20 years of global experience spanning higher education, research, and strategic governance. Endorsed by the UK Royal Society as a 鈥淕lobal Exceptional Talent鈥, and appointed to the UK鈥檚 REF 2029 Sub-panel 2 (Public Health, Health Services & Primary Care) for both the Criteria-Setting Phase, and the Assessment Phase. In addition to serving two terms as Board Member, and Chair of the Medical Research Council (MRC) (SA) Audit, Risk & IT Committee, he has been appointed as Full Professor at three universities including a 306th QS globally 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 globally ranked university), he has authored >250 peer-reviewed articles, influencing national and international policy and legislation, including NICE, UN, WHO, and World Athletics. He has 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.

Research and professional activities
Research interests
Mind Body Exercise and Community Non-Communicable Disease Prevention
Prepare a grant for a project looking at mind-body exercise and its impact on interoception and disease.
Lifestyle Medicine and Chronic Disease
My research focuses on the role of lifestyle medicine in the prevention, management, and potential reversal of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. I am particularly interested in how evidence-based interventions, including physical activity, nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and sleep optimisation, can be integrated into healthcare to improve long-term patient outcomes. This work also explores barriers to lifestyle change, the effectiveness of interdisciplinary approaches, and the translation of research into clinical, and community practice.
Exercise/Physical Activity and Chronic Disease
My research investigates the impact of exercise or physical activity on the prevention, treatment, and management of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases. I am interested in understanding the physiological, and psychological mechanisms through which regular physical activity improves health outcomes. This includes evaluating optimal types, intensities, and delivery models of exercise interventions, as well as exploring how physical activity can be embedded into clinical practice, and public health strategies to support sustainable, long-term behaviour change.
