Bringing our research from the lab into your life
Our research is dedicated to advancing the scholarship of teaching and learning in the areas of infant nutrition, human lactation, and breastfeeding education. Our primary objective is to enhance breastfeeding knowledge and self-efficacy among future healthcare professionals. The majority of our graduate and undergraduate students are pre-health majors, aspiring to pursue careers in fields such as nursing, medicine, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, dietetics, and other healthcare disciplines. Additionally, we are conducting research on optimal feeding practices within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to improve outcomes for vulnerable infants.
