The International Milk Composition (IMiC) Consortium, led by Meghan Azad, hosted a session at the 22nd International Society for Research in Human Milk & Lactation (ISRHML) Conference held December 9-13th 2024 in South Carolina. Team members presented findings on: i) a multi-omics view of human milk composition across diverse environments, ii) machine learning approaches to predict infant growth, iii) the effects of nutritional interventions on human milk, and iv) learnings from collaborations with lower-middle income countries. A panel featuring HM science experts (Dr Shelly McGuire, University of Idaho and Dr Donna Geddes, University of Western Australia) and policy and practice experts (Dr Lawrence Grummer-Strawn, WHO and Dr Aloka Patel, Rush University) discussed knowledge translation opportunities and challenges.
