Personal Statement:

In recognition of my innovative work in the field of cardiovascular research, I was recently elected as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC). Additionally, our abstract entitled, microRNA-137 and miRNA-106b are novel myocardial ischemia/inflammation-dependent biomarkers with high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) submitted to the American College of Cardiology (ACC) is accepted for oral presentation under “Highlighted Original Research: Ischemic Heart Disease and the Year in Review” at the ACC 2024, Atlanta, Georgia.

I have a unique experience related to Translational Research from Bench to Bedside (i.e., from ideas to commercial market). These include, drug discovery, research & development (R&D), intellectual properties, product commercialization, clinical trials, and FDA regulations to obtain product approval for human use.

My research is focused on myocardial ischemia defined as reduction of blood flow to heart muscle (myocardium) due to a partial or complete blockage of one or more coronary arteries. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is characterized by the presence of myocardial ischemia in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), unstable angina (UA), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (heart attack), and heart failure (HF).

I am an Inventor of fourteen (14) Patents Issued by the U.S. Patent Office and four additional U.S. and international pending patent applications related to Nourin® and Nourexal®. I am the lead author or senior author in all my below-listed publications in peer-reviewed journals, as well as peer-reviewed abstracts presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), and European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Nour Heart’s mission is to commercialize the Company’s innovative and patented diagnostic and therapeutic products for the early detection, prevention, and treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease. The Company’s two cardiac-related products are Nourin® and Nourexal® as described here:


1. Novel Diagnostic Blood-Based Test:

Nourin® protein is a potent inflammatory mediator rapidly released within 5 minutes by acute ischemic myocardium prior to necrosis. Nourin® protein is regulated by the hypoxia-induced miR-137 (a marker of cell damage) and the inflammation-induced miR-106b (a marker of inflammation). Nourin®-dependent microRNA-137 and miRNA-106b are novel myocardial ischemia/inflammation-dependent biomarkers with high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for ACS.

The patented Nourin®-dependent miRNAs are novel diagnostic molecular biomarkers for myocardial ischemia and/or injury. Nourin miRNAs can identify acute myocardial ischemia prior to necrosis in patients suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS), consisting of AMI and UA. In contrast with current biomarkers such as troponin, Nourin® miRNAs can reveal ischemia of the myocardium and confirm its resolution via coronary angioplasty.In contrast with current biomarkers such as troponin, Nourin® miRNAs can reveal ischemia of the myocardium and confirm its resolution via coronary angioplasty. The Nourin miRNA test will have a particular benefit for women since they frequently present with vague symptoms of “questionable angina” and their diagnose of myocardial ischemia, is difficult.

In summary, assessment of Nourin® miRNAs enables the rapid identification of a population of patients with ischemia, but without injury or infarction, thus potentially improving the treatment algorithms.


2. Novel Bioenergetic Preventive Therapy:

Nourexal® is a novel bioenergetic/anti-inflammatory drug that resuscitates poorly functioning hearts and protects against development of heart failure.

The FDA-designated bioenergetic/anti-inflammatory drug, Nourexal® (cyclocreatine phosphate - CCrP) is a cardiac therapeutic drug to prevent ischemia-induced injury and block the harmful downstream events of ischemia that lead to cardiac dysfunction and development of heart failure. Nourexal® resuscitates poorly functioning hearts and protects against development of heart failure post ischemia. Nourexal® is a New Paradigm that restores cellular energy (adenosine triphosphate (ATP)) despite hypoxia/ischemia. As a bioenergetic drug, CCrP protects hearts against ischemic injury and restores cardiac function during reperfusion. Clinical applications include, end-stage heart failure patients scheduled for heart transplantation procedure, patients undergoing high-risk cardiac surgery and high-risk intervention cardiology.

Professional Expertise:
A. Overall Summary:
  • Dr. Elgebaly’s unique experience in academia, clinical trials in investigative sites, and pharmaceutical industry includes: 1) academic drug discovery and development at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, 2) established two new Clinical Trials and Research Centers in Connecticut (Grove Hill Medical Center and Connecticut Multispecialty Group) and functioned as the Director of the Centers to oversee all FDA-regulated Phase II and Phase III clinical trials in local and international investigative sites, 3) established one new Clinical Trials and Research Center at University of Alexandria Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria, Egypt, and 4) functioned as the Director of Clinical Affairs in a Maryland-based pharmaceutical Company, AnGes Inc. which included FDA filing for drug registration for human use.
  • Wrote a Review Article: Elgebaly SA, et al.: Cyclocreatine Protects Against Ischemic Injury and Enhances Cardiac Recovery During Early Reperfusion. Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, Volume 17(9), 683-697, 2019.
  • Presented recently seven abstracts related to Nourin® and Nourexal® at the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), and European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The abstracts are published at the Journal of American College of Cardiology (Impact Factor: 24), Circulation Journal (Impact Factor: 29), and European Heart Journal (Impact Factor: 39).
  • Dr. Elgebaly is also a frequent lecturer in international conferences on the subject of Nourin® and Nourexal®, and Cyclosporin H. Specifically, Dr. Elgebaly was invited to present her work by:
    • Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine, Professor Sir John Vane, London, UK,
    • Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine, Professor R. Levi Montalcini, Rome, Italy,
    • Professor Sir Magdy Yacoub in London, United Kingdom.
B. Academic & Industrial Experience:
  • Research & Development for heart-related diagnostic and therapeutic products.
  • Dr. Elgebaly’s research resulted in the discovery of the potent tissue-derived inflammatory mediator, Nourin® and its antagonists Nourexin (Cyclosporin H (anti-inflammatory) and the cardioprotective, Nourexal® (Cyclocreatine Phosphate) (bioenergetic and anti-inflammatory / anti-apoptotic). Cyclosporine H (Nourexin) is also a potent anti-inflammatory drug against influenza flu-induced acute and chronic inflammation.
  • Clinical trials in pharmaceutical setup and investigative sites (patients site).
  • FDA requirements for product submission for approval.
  • Participant, FDA-Sponsored Cardiac Safety Research Consortium
  • Dr. Elgebaly has been awarded millions of dollars to support her research from such organizations as the National Institute of Health (NIH), academic institution such the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, as well as the Maryland Technology Development Cooperation, several pharmaceutical companies, corporate competitive awards and private funding.
C. Product Commercialization:
  • Nourexal® (Cyclocreatine Phosphate) and FDA Orphan Drug Designation
