The Endocrinology of Human Lactation
LRF OCEHL’s research focuses on the hormonal mechanisms or chemicals that control and regulate cells and organs in the production of breastmilk.

We are pleased to announce a new DPhil collaborative project with Bryony Davies, that is looking at how difficult pregnancies might impact the hormones in lactation.
Two Early Career Researchers were awarded funds in order to explore how hormones may influence colostrum and human milk oligosaccharides.
This week, the INSIGHT Study reached an exciting milestone: the recruitment of our 500th participant!
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.
