Bonus Episode: Studying Breast Milk at Pandemic Speed - with Dr. Lars Bode

Is the Covid-19 virus passed through breast milk? This question plagued parents and doctors early in the pandemic. Listen to the incredible story of how the Mother-Milk-Infant Center of Research Excellence (MoMI-CoRE) at UC San Diego was able to answer this question in record time. Their work has set the stage for expediting research in the face of another pandemic.  If you haven’t listened yet, be sure to check out “Ep. 17: The Surprising Health Benefits of Human Milk - with Dr. Lars Bode” where Dr. Hunter and Dr. Bode discuss how discoveries about human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) may be the key to developing new treatments for adult diseases and how formula-fed babies can benefit too.
