==Education==<br />
Hasan studied in [[Aligarh]] as a child. Her parents taught at university, and her two sisters studied chemistry and physics.<ref name="Lilavati's Daughters - Gaiti Hasan">{{cite web | url=http://www.ias.ac.in/womeninscience/LD_essays/128-131.pdf | title=Science and the Art of Detection | work=Lilavati's Daughters: The Women Scientists of India | publisher=Indian Academy of Sciences |year=2008 | access-date=19 October 2014 | author=(eds.)

She completed a MSc in [[life sciences]] in 1978 and a [[M.Phil.]] in 1980 from [[Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi|Jawaharlal Nehru University]], Delhi.<ref name="Gaiti Hasan - INSA Fellow">{{cite web|url=http://www.insaindia.org/detail.php?id=P06-1411 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140316225356/http://www.insaindia.org/detail.php?id=P06-1411 |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 March 2014 |title=Gaiti Hasan – INSA Fellow |publisher=Indian National Science Academy www.insaindia.org |access-date=19 October 2014 }}</ref><ref name="Lilavati's Daughters - Gaiti Hasan" /> In 1983, she received a PhD from the [[University of Cambridge]] for her dissertation on ribosomal RNA genes of [[Trypanosoma brucei]].<ref name="NISER Gaiti Hasan bio">{{cite web|url=http://www.niser.ac.in/~cellbio2011/speaker_profiles/Prof%20G%20Hasan.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180227094315/http://www.niser.ac.in/~cellbio2011/speaker_profiles/Prof%20G%20Hasan.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=27 February 2018 |title=NISER Gaiti Hasan bio |publisher=National Institute of Science Education and Research www.niser.ac.in |access-date=19 October 2014 }}</ref> According to Hasan, it was while she was applying to universities for her PhD that she realised for the first time that "belonging to a minority could lead to discrimination". She believes this has led her to "consciously try and be supportive of other woman scientists, be they students or colleagues".<ref name="Lilavati's Daughters - Gaiti Hasan" /><br />
