About

Hasin Feroz's doctoral research primarily focuses on the biophysical characterization of a unique class of bio-medically relevant light-driven membrane proteins called rhodopsins. Recognizing early on the challenges associated with obtaining high yields of purified membrane proteins, she has developed strategies for optimizing the extraction and ultrafiltration-based concentration of these proteins to remove the bottleneck associated with their characterization. She has also implemented experimental and model-based approaches to predict the performance of membranes for ultrafiltration / microfiltration applications in water treatment and sterilization. In the course of her Ph.D., she has been deeply involved in teaching and mentoring undergraduate researchers which has been an integral part of her teaching and research experience at Penn State. Hasin Feroz has been s a downstream process scientist at BMS and is now currently at Moderna where she develops and characterizes new therapeutic processes of different modalities through a Design of Experiment (DoE) approach. She supports tech transfer and scale-up for clinical phase therapeutics. As part of continuous platform evolution for ultrafiltration/ diafiltration, she evaluates new technologies including Process Analytical Technology (PAT), Fourier Transform Infrared microscopy (FTIR) and single-use tangential flow filtration devices. She also leads academic collaboration to understand fundamental mechanism of virus inactivation. Her current research focuses on developing analytical methods to evaluate surrogates and screen candidates for virus inactivation. She has also taught undergrad classes on filtration applications in industrial bioseparation at UMass Lowell from 2018 to 2021.
