Alecia-Jane Twigger leads the Cambridge Lactation Lab, focusing on human lactation's nutritional, developmental, and immune benefits. Her work, supported by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, utilizes innovative lab-grown computational models to understand milk production. Twigger's research is centered on several key questions, including the biosynthesis pathways involved in human milk synthesis and the factors that enable human milk organoids to produce milk. She investigates the molecular basis for low milk production and the developmental processes of mammary cells. Her rigorous scientific approach aims to identify strategies to enhance breastfeeding, especially for women with low milk supply, ultimately aiming to improve health outcomes for women and children. Alecia has authored numerous publications exploring various facets of human lactation and breast milk cell dynamics, contributing significantly to the understanding of this critical area of research.
