Please join us for the upcoming ISRHML Webinar on Advancing Human Milk ResearchThrough Secondary Data Analysis | 20 November 2025, 1 pm EST.

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming seminar, “Advancing Human Milk Research Through Secondary Data Analysis,” to be held on Thursday, November 20th at 1:00 PM EST.

This seminar brings together four principal investigators, each leading a study focused on human milk research. Our primary goal is to introduce these unique studies and foster new collaborations for secondary dataanalysis within the human milk research community.

Following the seminar, we will distribute a survey to inquire whether you are a principal investigator of a study involving human milk collection and to invite you to contribute your study information to our evolving database. This database, alongside contact information, will be made accessible to ISRHML members to facilitate future collaborations.
