Aisha R. Hasan

Aisha has extensive experience drafting patent applications in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and specialty formulations for pharmaceuticals. Her work spans a wide range of technical areas, including chemistry, immunology, molecular biology, agricultural biotechnology, diagnostic assays, antibody therapies, and small molecules.

Prior to entering private practice, Aisha was a protein chemist at Trimeris Inc., working in HIV and RSV research and at the National Institute of Health in the Laboratory of Structural Biology, where she studied the structure of Natural Killer cell receptors. She also has experience in clinical microbiology and virology and chemical synthesis.  Just as she tracks scientific advances in these and related fields, Aisha thinks forward about newly developing law—such as that surrounding biosimilar drugs—and how to use it for the best advantage for her clients. Those clients include large agricultural chemical companies, pharmaceutical and biotech companies of varying size, and companies developing immune therapies. She has also prosecuted patents for a variety of start ups and emerging companies.

In addition to graduating cum laude, with her J.D., she holds a Master of Science in biochemistry and molecular biology.
