The OCEHL director, Prof Fadil Hannan joined leading thinkers from around the world last week in London to discuss healthcare challenges and the use of cutting-edge technologies to address these.
LRF OCEHL Director, Prof Fadil Hannan has led the publication of a collaborative article in Nature Reviews Endocrinology.
A £9.12 million gift from the Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation has endowed an Oxford University research centre investigating the role of hormones in human milk production.
It is widely recognised that breastfeeding improves child development and the long-term health of the mother. Less is known about the hormones that work to ensure successful milk production. We aim to further understand these molecular mechanisms in order to produce better and more evidence-based support for breastfeeding mothers.
