It’s all about Prevention and Education: MASALA STUDY
Alka Kanaya is Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in the Division of General Internal Medicine. She trained in clinical epidemiology during a General Internal Medicine fellowship at UCSF. She completed her internship and residency training in Primary Care, Internal Medicine at UCSF in 1998, and served as Chief Medical Resident at Moffitt-Long Hospital from 1998-1999. She earned her M.D. degree from UCSF in 1995 and a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of California, Davis in 1990.
Dr. Kanaya is an expert in type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. She began the MASALA pilot study in 2006 to obtain preliminary data comparing Asian Indians in the SF Bay Area to four ethnic groups in the United States. With these compelling preliminary results, the National Institutes of Health funded the larger MASALA Study starting in 2010 which expanded the study to two geographic locations (San Francisco Bay Area and the greater Chicago area). Dr. Kanaya has been mentoring several junior investigators and students to develop clinical research skills and work on papers using the MASALA study data.

Landscaping with Florida Natives Tour:
The Purposes of the Landscape Tour: Sunday November 9th. The Conridina Chapter
Our Mission is to promote the preservation, conservation and restoration of the native plants and native plant communities of Florida.
- Provide Brevard County residents with the opportunity to see landscapes containing 70% or more Florida native plants or transitioning to a Florida native landscape.
- Illustrate that healthy, attractive landscapes can flourish without the use of chemicals.
- Motivate residents to try landscaping with native plants.
- Encourage other landscapers to use natural landscaping techniques in their own landscapes by providing the opportunity to visit a variety of interesting and visually appealing pesticide-free landscapes.
- Inspire other landscapers to provide wildlife habitat in their home landscapes.
Find the native plants and understand how they impact your yard and your neighborhood.
