HMI Virtual Grand Rounds

The Human Milk Institute Virtual Grand Rounds brings together leading international experts in human milk science to share the latest discoveries and innovations shaping the field. Approximately every two months, invited speakers present a 45-minute lecture highlighting their most recent research, followed by a 15-minute interactive question-and-answer session with the audience.

Participation is free and open to clinicians, researchers, trainees, and anyone interested in advancing human milk research and maternal-infant health.

Attendees are asked to RSVP through the registration link provided for each session.
