OCEHL joins Human Milk Research Consortium

LRF OCEHL is now part of the Global Human Milk Research Consortium (GHMRC) consisting of five independent research centres, based at renowned universities, and endowed by the Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation.

The research centres focus on complementary research topics that can advance the global understanding of breastfeeding and breastmilk. Each centre’s research vision highlights important components of health and development that contribute to reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – immunology, neurodevelopment, endocrinology of lactation, microbiome and human oligosaccharides, and behavioral economics.

Beyond the individual research areas, our centres are collaborating on interdisciplinary research projects capable of bridging traditional divides between disciplines. As a cornerstone of that interdisciplinary approach, the GHMRC has launched a multi-year fellowship program. Financed by the Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation, it offers two, 2-year postdoctoral grants annually.
