What exactly is in human milk? How does it work? And how can it be leveraged to improve the health of all people at every stage of life? Hear from Dr. Lars Bode, Director and Chair of Collaborative Human Milk Research, about UCSD’s MOMI CORE and their mission to create an engine of discovery focused on understanding human milk. Nikky Contractor, Vice President of Research and Development at Metagenics, will join the conversation to discuss how her company works with local researchers to integrate emerging science into their supplement formulations. The future is now!

San Diego Larger Than Life Science will be held at the NEW BioLabs in Towne Centre from 4-7 p.m. the last Thursday of each month. Join us for an evening of unconventional conversation!
