Human milk metabolomics | Unlocking insights into infant nutrition and health

March 19, 2025 | 04:00 – 05:00 pm CET | 10:00 – 11:00 EST
Virtual event on ZOOM

Breast milk is the most preferred source for infant nutrition, providing a unique and dynamic composition of bioactive molecules essential for growth and development. Metabolomics offers a powerful approach to deciphering the biochemical complexity of human milk, paving the way for new insights into maternal and infant health.

In this webinar, leading experts will explore the latest advancements in human milk metabolomics. Join us to discover how cutting-edge analytical technologies are transforming our understanding of breast milk composition and its impact on early-life health.

Human milk targeted metabolomics

Metabolic profiling of human milk (HM) is indispensable for elucidating mother-milk-infant relationships. Being able to use identical analytical methods for metabolics profiling of maternal/infant plasma and HM is ideal to produce comparable and robust results across different matrices, enhancing our ability to study milk as a biological system. Evalutating the biocrates MxP® Quant 500 assay for HM-targeted metabolomics we found that the assay is a useful tool for HM acquisition, minimizing analytical bias between matrices.
