About Us

About Us

We are a biotechnology-driven company advancing innovation in soft-tissue repair,
leveraging nanofibers and engineered biomaterials to transform patient recovery.

Nurami Medical was founded in 2014 by Nora Nseir and Dr. Amir Bahar, bringing together their combined expertise in biomaterials, nanotechnology, and clinical practice. With early support from the NGT3VC Incubator in Nazareth, they set out to address a critical unmet need in neurosurgery: improving dura repair with materials engineered to support natural healing.

Over the years, Nurami has grown into a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and medical experts committed to developing high-performance grafts based on rigorous research and evidence. Our work is driven by data, strengthened by collaboration, and guided by a vision to modernize soft-tissue repair for the benefit of surgeons and patients worldwide.

Awad Darawshe

As part of the Next October commemoration initiative, Nurami Medical honors the memory of Awad Darawshe, a courageous paramedic who was murdered while saving lives at the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023.

Awad Darawshe, only 23 years old, was part of the medical team providing emergency care at the Nova Festival. When instructed to evacuate for his own safety, he chose to stay, continuing to treat the wounded and save lives amid the chaos. During the indiscriminate shooting carried out by Hamas, Awad was fatally shot while fulfilling his life-saving mission. For over three years, Awad volunteered with Nazareth United Hatzala, an Israeli emergency medical service. He was known for his compassion, dedication, and willingness to help anyone in need, regardless of background. We are inspired by Awad’s courage, compassion, and dedication to helping others. His actions remind us why advancing medical innovation matters, and we honor his memory by continuing our work to improve and save lives.
