2013 The Anne S. Chatham Fellowship in Medicinal Botany
Christopher U. Kitalong, a Ph.D. candidate at City University of New York, will research the ethnobotany and pharmacology of Phaleria nisidai, a medicinal plant species used by native Palauans, including those with Type 2 Diabetes or who are obese. He will collaborate with local healers and physicians to organize a study of specific species used to treat diabetes and compare results with patients who use traditional treatments. Positive results from the use of Phaleria nisidai would provide scientific grounding for the use of this native medicine and could motivate further research and funding.

To protect, preserve, and expand knowledge about the medicinal use of plants, thus preventing the disappearance of plants with therapeutic potential. Providing this research opportunity for botanists can, in turn, assist medical science to develop therapies that improve the quality of life of patients and develop life-saving medicines.
