The Founders Circle of Human Lactology
Your Unique Opportunity to Start an Entirely New Specialty
The Founders Circle of Human Lactology is a community of visionary pioneers whose passion and philanthropic generosity drive the creation of a brand new scientific specialty: Human Lactology
Unlike any other organ and system in the human body, there has never been a specialty dedicated to the mammary gland and its primary function, to produce human milk and nourish and protect the baby.
Seeded with initial gifts from Hannah Kohlberg Johnson, Lauren Klein, and Pelin Thorogood, the Founders Circle of Human Lactology enables the Human Milk Institute (HMI) to launch this new scientific specialty - Human Lactology - and this is your unique opportunity to become one of the pioneers that make it happen.
The Founders Circle of Human Lactology invites forward-thinking philanthropic partners to help shape and accelerate this emerging field — powering the science of human milk to improve health outcomes worldwide and transform lifelong health for generations.
