Description

This grant opportunity focuses on studying the impact of hospital storage practices on the cellular components of human milk and their role in infant health. The project aims to examine how refrigeration and freezing affect milk's protective mechanisms. It also investigates the integration of milk cells into vital organs using animal models. The research is led by Dr. Carrie-Ellen Briere at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
