Ismail, Noura
Noura Ismail
Lecturer of Biology, teaches general biology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology. She received a bachelor's degree in Biology and a master's degree in Human Morphology from the American University of Beirut, and a doctoral degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from Ohio State University. Her research focused on the role of microvesicles in blood, which were often regarded as debris. She identified the presence of microRNAs in the microvesicles and consequently the function of these in macrophage differentiation, which may provide insight to understanding inflammatory diseases. Ismail and the research team received a patent for their work in 2010. She continues to pursue new pedagogy to promote student learning and inclusive teaching. She is an honors student mentor and continues to work with several students to guide them as they complete their thesis. Ismail joined the Biology Department at full time capacity in the Fall of 2024.
