Dr Priya Bellare - A decade of thriving post cancer surgery in the brain

Published: May 2, 2021, 12:30 p.m.

Dr Priya Bellare is a post-doctoral scientist working in healthcare at the cutting edge of disease control and prevention. Priya is my first cousin and I’ve always considered her to be the baby sister I never had. In today’s conversation I learnt things about her that I was not aware of and might never have learnt had it not been for this podcast. In Priya’s words, she is a 46 year old woman who thinks she is 31. She is inspired by those who do the hardest of jobs like bringing up kids, being teachers and scientists. Priya loves science with a passion. It has played a huge role in her life and in giving her a second chance at life. She is also a dreamer, a write and a poet. Her book of poems A Bucket of One and a Half Choices is a repository of some of the most personal moments in her life. She loves visiting new places and going off the beaten track.
