Dr. Geula Hanin's lab investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying lactation and early nutrition while assessing their impact on lifelong health. By integrating research on human breastmilk with advanced mouse models, the lab adopts a systems-level approach that considers the mother, milk, and offspring as interconnected biological units. Dr. Hanin’s work is dedicated to uncovering how maternal physiology shapes future generations. Lactation is a fundamental characteristic of mammals, and the nutrition provided by breastmilk is essential for infant growth and development. Research in the lab illuminates the mechanisms governing postnatal nutrition and its implications for maternal and child health. Unlike traditional studies focusing solely on human milk composition, Dr. Hanin takes a holistic lens, exploring the functional roles of candidate imprinted genes and the intricacies of maternal inter-organ communication involving the mammary gland. Her cutting-edge research seeks to understand the signals that influence lactation and maternal health, as well as the developmental outcomes for offspring.
