Scientific Advisory Board

FLRF is grateful to these leading experts for sharing their time and expertise with the foundation.

Drawing on a deep well of interdisciplinary experience in lactation, breastfeeding and breastmilk, the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) provides specialized professional counsel, with the aim of supporting the Foundation so that its work may have maximum impact, in alignment with its vision, mission and strategy.

We invite you to learn more about each member of the FLRF SAB, and their valuable contributions to mother and child health.
