The Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation Oxford Centre for the Endocrinology of Human Lactation (LRF OCEHL), is based at the Women’s Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital and is led by Dr Fadil Hannan (Centre Director).
LRF OCEHL is funded by the Family Larsson Rosenquist Foundation and was established in 2019.
LRF OCEHL’s research focuses on the molecular endocrinology of lactation (the hormonal mechanisms or chemicals that control and regulate cells and organs in the production of breastmilk).
Scientific advancement - contributing cutting-edge scientific research on the molecular determinants of successful human milk production;
Academic collaboration - establishing strong collaborations with leading global institutions, developing large scale bio-repositories and contributing to this growing field of study;
Public engagement – appealing to and engaging with external public communities, particularly pregnant and new mothers potentially participating in the clinical studies.
Listen to LRF OCEHL’s Director, Prof. Fadil Hannan, introduce the centre and its work. He explains how truly unique and amazing breastmilk is as a fluid and why it’s so interesting to be investigating the role of hormones in lactation.
The Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation (FLRF) is an independent charitable organisation aiming to promote new knowledge about breastmilk, breastfeeding and implementation strategies and invest globally in scientific projects, basic and applied research on breastfeeding and breastmilk without pursuing any economic benefit.
