Obaed is a senior concentrating in Molecular and Cell Biology, returning as a Student Advisor and plans to go to medical school after graduation. During the summer, he does research in Hector Aguilar-Carrenos Lab and has volunteered in the hospital as a scribe and shadowing. On campus he is in the same lab studying infection disease viral entry, egress, immune responses and antivirals. On campus he volunteers at the Salvation Army, he founded the Rubik's Cubing Club, and is involved in the American Cancer Society. For fun, he enjoys watching YouTube, scrolling through Instagram, playing basketball with friends, and watching movies. 

Obaed’s words of advice to incoming students:

“The transition from high school into college can be very daunting yet so exciting at the same time. It is very important to really take it easy your first semester and ease into this drastic change in lifestyle-- don't take a heavy course load, make room to join many different clubs in order to meet people, and enjoy the beautiful Ithaca outdoors! It is completely okay to take 13 or 12 credits your first semester and just enjoy your new life at Cornell! You will have more than enough time to get all the credits you need to graduate!”
