The Human Milk Institute at UC San Diego hopes to expand its research into how breast milk makes a difference in a child’s health outlook.
is one of a kind. No other institute at a university is focused on understanding the science of breast milk and the role it plays in our lives.“There is no all-encompassing, harmonizing institute that takes all aspects of human milk, from molecular biology all the way to public health, social sciences, politics. I mean there’s a lot of space to cover here,” said Bode, also a professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego.Bode, like most people his age, was nursed using infant formula.
“This could be a question of life and death,” Bode said. “So if you don’t receive human milk, with all those bioactive components in it that protect you from disease, then you might have a higher chance of dying from infectious disease.”“There isn’t enough research to distinguish between kids who are breastfed and those given formula and I would love to be a part of the research that answers some of these questions,” said Mitra Hooshmand, the new executive director of the Human Milk Institute.
“We have great people here who work on all different disciplines, experts here in San Diego who can do miraculous things. But how do you connect all these people, all of these different expertises to collectively work in one direction?” he said.
