If you hear singing in the mornings in the corridors at the Georgia Cancer Center, then you might run into Dr. Balveen Kaur, the newest faculty member at the Cancer Center and Medical College of Georgia.

Before coming to Augusta to serve as associate director for basic science research, Kaur was at the University of Texas Health Science Center where she served as the Vice Chair of Research in the department of Neurological Surgery. While she loved her position there she is very excited about being on a college campus and finds it very rewarding to be around young minds.

Early on in her career Kaur was interested in translational research and seeing how bench experiments can evolve into clinical trials. This evolution from experiment to treatment motivated and inspired her throughout her career.

Join Chris Curry for this episode of "A Cancer Conversation" as he sits down with Dr. Kaur to talk about her passion for cancer research, and for educating the next generation of laboratory scientists.
