Nour is a passionate neuroendocrinologist who has a double master’s in Neuroscience and in Reproduction and Development. She performed her PhD and first postdoc in the Lille Neuroscience and Cognition Research Center (France) working with Dr. Giacobini and Dr. Prévot at the French Institute of Health and Medical Research and University Hospital. She has worked on translational research projects which aimed at dissecting the central mechanisms underpinning the in-utero onset and transgenerational transmission of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in adulthood (the most common endocrinopathy in women), while exploring diagnostic and therapeutic tools to treat the condition.

Nour is enthusiastic about working with Dr. Marlin as a postdoc, aspiring to elucidate how environmental factors and trauma during pregnancy can impact the parental brain and fetal brain circuits. Additionally, as a member of the European Health Parliament and Women in Science Rising Talent Program, she is strongly committed to addressing and improving women's health issues.

Aside from science and advocacy, Nour loves spending quality time with her family and friends, playing board games and Pictionary, and traveling to discover new landscapes and cultures. She hopes to visit the 4/7 wonders of the world remaining on her list by 2024.
