Breastfeeding is one of the most impactful, cost-effective ways to save and improve the lives of children everywhere, providing lifelong health benefits for infants and their mothers. 

Not only are human milk and breastfeeding the foundation of a child’s healthy development, but they are also the basis of a country’s development – ending preventable child deaths, reducing the burden of chronic disease, improving educational achievements, and boosting productivity.

We know this. Yet disconnected research efforts often stand in the way of maximum impact.

So we formed the GHMRC. We are five independent research centers, based at renowned universities and endowed by the Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation. In addition to our own centers’ work, we come together on a shared vision: to improve every life through interdisciplinary research on breastfeeding and human milk.

When we collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, we can bridge traditional divides and overcome barriers to positive social impact.
