Our Mission
Our lab is united by a shared commitment to improving the health and well-being of breastfeeding individuals, infants, and families. Together, we aim to advance understanding of the bioactive components in human milk and how they support healthy development. This knowledge can inform clinical guidelines, shape public policy, and bridge critical gaps between science and practice. Through collaborative expertise and rigorous research, we strive to empower parents, promote evidence-based care, and ensure that every baby has the best possible start in life.
Fields of Study
Clinical Research to Improve Breastfeeding Care
Molecular Mechanisms
of Milk Production
Milk Bioactives
and Infant Health
How We Do It
We partner with families to better understand how milk is made and how it supports infant growth. By analyzing breast milk cells with advanced genomics and cell biology tools, and using lab and animal models, we uncover ways to protect and improve milk production and infant health.
