This paper explores the mother-milk-infant "triad" that has evolved to protect and nourish babies, and how HMO's are produced during lactation along with the genes that drive the process. The project was a collaboration with Dr. Lars Bode at UC San Diego and Dr. Qingling Duan at Queen's University. Tweetorial

 Rowan Shwaluk, a MILC Summer Student, showcased her research project titled “Understanding the Predictors of Human Milk Composition Variation with an Observational Approach” at the CHRIM Summer Research Rounds on August 27th, 2024. Her project analyzed data from The International Milk Composition (IMiC) Consortium. Congratulations to Rowan for delivering an engaging and insightful presentation!
