Nour Majbour
A neuroscientist and chess expert, a knowledgeable reader, and an expert on inspirational quotations. Nour Majbour is a permanent figure who renews all the stereotypes that we know, and is an example of the strength and will of women. This remarkable talent is still young and has great hope for the future.
Noor is a Distinguished Researcher at the Qatar Institute for Biomedical Research at the University of Hamad Bin Khalifa in Doha, where she is working with a team of researchers to develop neurological disorders studies. She previously obtained her PhD from the University of Freij, Netherlands.
Her intellectual powers began to flourish at the age of 10, when she regularly won her brother in chess. “Mind is the biggest mystery in life, and if you have a passion for solving puzzles like me, this is the ideal field for you,” she says.
Nour, who was once a shy child, is locked in a journey that will put the spotlight on her and make millions in the Arab world follow her. Will this pressure cause her to lose her dream? She does not see that, as long as she keeps her eyes on the target, the lights will not be a problem for her. “When I study the human mind, I believe that the human mind is the most powerful tool,” she said. Is it better than using this mind to improve life in our societies? ”
Whether it’s in the spotlight or not, Finn is determined to improve the health and well-being of people in the Arab world and beyond. “The Stars of Science program has been an exceptional platform for innovators over the last 10 years, and my invention will be a contribution to this rich heritage.”
About the project
Noor believes her work in neuroscience can serve the disadvantaged. She believes it is strange that there is a lack of resources to help people suffering from neurological diseases in the Arab world. “We need to focus more on alleviating diseases that affect older people. I want to help those who suffer from these diseases that may deprive them of living with the dignity they deserve. ”
She studied at the Qatar Institute of Biomedical Research how antibodies can be used to diagnose Parkinson’s disease. Antibodies are special proteins found in the human body’s immune system that detect and respond to bacteria and viruses. There is still no treatment to date for the disease that paralyzes the central nervous system. However, existing therapies can reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life.
Parkinson’s disease can not be definitively diagnosed by a test (such as a brain scan or blood test). This is exactly what Nour wants to change by inventing research kits to diagnose Parkinson’s disease. People with the disease will benefit from early detection.
The invention of Noor is a set designed for use in the laboratory, taking advantage of the strength of antibodies in determining the biological markers of Parkinson’s disease. For Noor, the fight against Parkinson’s disease is personal. “There are members of my family who have the disease,” she says. “I saw with my own eyes how it affected them and all the family members. I have great respect for the elderly, and my ultimate goal is to honor them through my research and through this invention. Every human being deserves to live in peace and peace. ”
the influence
By devising a research kit to diagnose Parkinson’s disease, Noor is making significant progress in the fight against the disease. At present, the disease can only be diagnosed by its symptoms, so early diagnosis can provide peace of mind when Parkinson’s disease is ruled out or early treatment may be allowed at the time of detection.
