Professional Profile
Education
Dr. Noura Atef Abdel Sattar Ebrahim earned her Doctorate in Oncologic Pathology from the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, in 2024, where she investigated the expression of SOX10 and Beta-Catenin in ovarian serous carcinoma. Her research focused on understanding the role of these proteins in the progression of cancer. In 2018, she obtained her Master’s in Pathology from Cairo University, with a thesis that examined breast carcinoma molecular subtypes and their correlation with axillary lymph node metastasis and chemotherapy response. Prior to her graduate studies, Dr. Ebrahim earned her Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from Kasr Al-Ainy School of Medicine, Cairo University, in 2011, graduating with excellent grades. Throughout her academic journey, Dr. Ebrahim demonstrated excellence in clinical pathology, molecular diagnostics, and research methodology, building a solid foundation in oncologic pathology. Her academic achievements have propelled her into a successful research and teaching career.
Experience
Dr. Noura Atef Abdel Sattar Ebrahim has significant academic and clinical experience in oncology pathology. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, where she has been teaching and conducting research since 2024. Prior to this, Dr. Ebrahim was a Lecturer at the same institution from 2019 to 2024, where she was actively involved in teaching undergraduate and doctoral students in oncology and pathology. She began her career as a Demonstrator at the National Cancer Institute from 2014 to 2019, focusing on cancer research and clinical pathology training. Before her work at the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Ebrahim completed her clinical training as a House Officer and Resident in Internal Medicine at Kasr Al-Ainy, Cairo University. She is also involved in scientific review activities for journals such as Biomedical Materials and Devices and World Journal of Hepatology, demonstrating her expertise and commitment to advancing oncologic pathology.
Research Interests
Dr. Noura Atef Abdel Sattar Ebrahim’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, specifically ovarian and breast carcinomas. Her work emphasizes the role of tumor markers such as SOX10 and Beta-Catenin, investigating their expression patterns and their clinical implications in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Dr. Ebrahim’s doctoral thesis on the expression of SOX10 and Beta-Catenin in ovarian serous carcinoma aims to provide insights into the molecular pathways driving ovarian cancer progression. Additionally, her earlier research on breast carcinoma molecular subtypes and their correlation with lymph node metastases and chemotherapy response has contributed to personalized cancer treatment strategies. She is also involved in the study of immunohi stochemical markers such as Cyclin D1 and E-Cadherin in various cancers, including laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Dr. Ebrahim’s focus on integrating molecular biology with clinical pathology aims to improve cancer detection, treatment, and patient outcomes through precision medicine.
Awards
Dr. Noura Atef Abdel Sattar Ebrahim has received several prestigious awards for her research and academic contributions. In 2021, she won the Best Abstract Award at the Baheya Breast Cancer Conference for her research on breast carcinoma molecular subtypes. This recognition highlighted the significant impact of her findings on breast cancer diagnostics and treatment. In 2024, Dr. Ebrahim was honored with the Best Doctoral Thesis Award at the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, for her outstanding doctoral work on the expression of SOX10 and Beta-Catenin in ovarian serous carcinoma. These awards reflect her dedication to advancing oncology research and her contributions to the scientific community. Additionally, her work continues to be recognized by peers through oral and poster presentations at international conferences, such as the Bridging Gaps in Oncology and Baheya Breast Cancer Conferences, showcasing her leadership in the field of oncologic pathology.
