Did you know mother's milk was older than dinosaurs? Or that the "biological recipe" of mother's milk can differ for sons and daughters? Did you know that milk doesn't just provide the building blocks for infant development, but fuels infant behavior too? At Arizona State University, Hinde investigates the food, medicine, and signal of mother's milk. In addition to dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, Hinde co-edited “Building Babies: Primate Developmental Trajectories in Proximate and Ultimate Perspective” released by Springer in 2013. Hinde is an associate editor and writer for SPLASH! Milk Science Update, executive council member for the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation, and showcases research on mother’s milk, breastfeeding, and lactation for the general public, clinicians, and researchers at her blog “Mammals Suck… Milk!”
Hinde came to ASU from an assistant professorship in human evolutionary biology at Harvard University (2011-2015).

In the Comparative Lactation Lab they investigate the first substance a mammal is adapted to consume- mother’s milk. Natural selection has shaped milk to be food, medicine, and signal. By studying humans, monkeys, and other mammals Hinde has found that just as individuals vary in their “mothering style,” the individual profile of fats, proteins, sugars, minerals, hormones, bacteria, and other constituents in mother’s milk are as unique as fingerprints. That variation shapes infant growth, health, and neurodevelopment. Importantly, milk not only builds the infant’s body, but fuels the infant’s behavioral activity. Most recently she has begun to explore the complex evolutionary dynamics among mother, microbes, and babies.
Research on breastfeeding and breast milk spanning the social and life sciences can translate into more personalized clinical recommendations and health optimization for mothers and their infants. Further, a better understanding of the composition and function of milk informs the composition of a more representative infant formula for those mothers facing obstacles to or contraindications for breastfeeding. Transdisciplinary approaches to mother’s milk, along with public outreach and science communication, facilitate discoveries at the bench and their translation to applications at the bedside. Moreover Hinde emphasizes the role of socio-political institutions and cultural dynamics as essential considerations in approaching the science of motherhood.
