HBKU Researcher Among Four Finalists on Stars of Science - Seite 2

In the process, HBKU's support proved instrumental in the development of an impactful and viable prototype that carries the potential to mature into a fully-integrated diagnostics solution and overhaul patient care for generations to come. This season's competition further underlines Majbour's cutting-edge contribution to medical science whose relevance is projected to increase as the incidence of PD rises proportionally to globally improved life expectancy figures.

As an HBKU innovator, Nour continues to embody the University's values of creativity and excellence, whilst doubling as a role model for female independence and leadership in STEM professions. Throughout her appearances on the show, she successfully manages to overcome technical challenges and showcase great perseverance, which led to her placement within the finale. Additionally, Nour's project is more than a theoretical concept, but rather a substantiated innovation with enterprise potential that can expand the healthcare industry's current methods of disease identification.

Stars of Science, QF's popular innovation TV show, draws on a long-term collaboration with HBKU's three premier research institutes - QBRI, Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) and Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) - to lend expert mentorship and world-class facilities to the contestants.

The University's standing cooperation with Stars of Science serves a common pursuit towards providing Qatar and the wider Arab region with access to knowledge and scientific innovation. Accordingly, Majbour's biomedical research in the field of PD illuminates a new path for early disease diagnostics, whilst safeguarding Qatar's position as a regional hub for healthcare innovation.
