Presenter

Danielle Prime PhD
Danielle completed her PhD in Biochemistry in 2010 at The University of Western Australia with Professor Peter Hartmann and the Human Lactation Research Group. The focus of her research has been centred on understanding more about the basic physiology of human lactation, to provide evidence-based knowledge to clinicians and mothers.

Danielle is a member of the Medical Research team at Medela, Switzerland since May 2012. One of her major roles is to keep abreast of the latest research into human milk and lactation, and endeavour to communicate this knowledge both internally (within Medela) and externally (medical and research community).
