- [Home](https://chenlabmimi.com/) - About us The Milk for Infant, Mind and Immunity (MIMI) laboratory works to improve the health and wellness of infants and their lactating mothers. Our work focuses on discovering the impact of maternal mental health and nutritional status on human milk components and the subsequent influence on infant health and developmental outcomes. We take a

- [Maternal Stress & Depression](https://chenlabmimi.com/maternal-stress-depression/) - Maternal Stress & Depression Perinatal stress and depression are under-appreciated and under-diagnosed, yet potentially easily preventable and treatable conditions. Based on current literature and population statistics, approximately 17% postpartum women reported stress and 13% report depression. However, depression rates range from 10-25% based on geographic location within the U.S. These statistics are likely lower than
- [Neurodevelopment](https://chenlabmimi.com/neurodevelopment/) - Early Feeding Exposures & Neurodevelopment Exclusive human milk feeding is associated with better neurodevelopmental outcomes during school ages, as well as larger brain volume using MRI, compared with infant formula. However, direct mechanistic investigations are often not possible since taking intestinal and brain samples from humans cannot be ethically justified.The swine model is most suitable
- [Bioactive HM Peptides](https://chenlabmimi.com/bioactive-hm-peptides/) - Bioactive Human Milk Peptides Leveraging natural bioactive peptides for better gastrointestinal development & health Premature infants are born with immature gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In addition to reduced digestive secretions, the GI tract itself and its resident immune system are still developing and maturing. The combination of these factors increase premature infants' risk for developing necrotizing
