Human milk is amazing.

It nourishes. It heals. It protects.

This is the power of the nonprofit Human Milk Science Institute and Biobank. Dedicated to the science of human milk, this organization is committed to helping scientists use human milk in their research to improve health outcomes in a wide range of applications.

We welcome researchers to learn more about our work and connect with us about samples or data.

We welcome lactating individuals who want to donate breast milk for research and hope you’ll learn more about the process.

And we welcome everyone who is as amazed by human milk as we are.
