Fred Waldman attended Williams College and received his MD and PhD at New York University Medical School. He then trained in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. He has been a faculty member at UCSF since 1984. Waldman is currently Chair of the Integration Panel for the Department of Defense Prostate Cancer Research Program. He is a member of the Metabolic Pathology NIH Study Section, and participates in numerous additional review groups. He is a Councilor of the International Society of Analytical Cytology, and is Chair of their Scientific Communications Committee.

Waldman has published over 150 scientific papers and holds multiple patents in the field of molecular cytogenetics (including one for Comparative Genomic Hybridization). He has a long standing interest in applying tools of molecular cytogenetics to analyze DNA purified from bladder and kidney tumors, in order to identify new markers of cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
