Waleed is a postdoctoral fellow in the Meucci Lab. He earned a BS in cell & molecular biology from The State University of New York at New Platz before joining Drexel to complete an MS degree in cancer biology and a PhD in bioinformatics.

During his PhD training, Waleed built software pipelines to process and explore multi-omics datasets from primary tumors and metastases. His research in the Meucci Lab spans the fields of cancer and neuroscience. He currently develops software to analyze large datasets of multi-electrode array recordings and publicly available CNS omics datasets to examine how neuroHIV and substance use disorders alter neuronal networks. He is also engaged in long-term collaborative studies on brain malignancies between the Meucci Lab and other groups.
