Uncovering Natural Remedies through Cutting-edge Research
Our partnership with top researchers and premier children's hospitals is transforming how we support infant gut health, backed by decades of breast milk research.
Advancing Infant Nutrition through World-class Research
At NurtureBio, our commitment to science isn't just about creating products – it's about advancing our understanding of infant nutrition through partnerships with leading institutions and researchers. Our work is guided by some of the most respected minds in breast milk and microbiome research.
Bringing Together the Best in Infant Health
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine & Cincinnati Children's Hospital
We're proud to partner with two of the nation's most prestigious medical institutions in a groundbreaking research collaboration:
Cincinnati Children's Hospital: Ranked as one of the top three children's hospitals globally, alongside Boston Children's and Texas Children's
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine: Leading innovative research in maternal-infant health
State-of-the-Art Facilities: Research conducted in Cincinnati Children's and University of Cincinnati’s advanced laboratories
Driving Focus with Continued Research
Our ongoing research examines how different types of Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) interact with specific beneficial bacteria, helping us understand:
Unique breast milk profiles and their bacterial communities
How different HMOs support specific beneficial bacteria
The metabolic products that support infant health
Optimal combinations for supporting infant gut development
Leading Experts in Breast Milk & Microbiome Research

Director, Division of Epidemiology, University of Cincinnati College of MedicineDr. Morrow stands as an internationally recognized expert in maternal-infant health, whose pioneering research has fundamentally shaped our understanding of early life nutrition and microbiome development. Throughout her distinguished career, she has led numerous groundbreaking birth cohort studies of both term and preterm infants, while serving in crucial scientific advisory roles at prestigious organizations including the WHO, NIH, and CDC. Her extensive collaborative research with major health institutions continues to advance our understanding of human milk systems and breastfeeding.
Dr. Morrow brings a rich academic background to her work, having earned her PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Texas School of Public Health, an MSc in Nutrition from the University of the West Indies, and a BA in History and International Studies from Rice University. Her multidisciplinary expertise allows her to approach infant nutrition research with unique insight and depth.

Adjunct Professor, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
Dr. Newburg is a distinguished glycobiologist whose groundbreaking research has revolutionized our understanding of how human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) protect infant health. His work has uncovered crucial mechanisms by which HMOs inhibit pathogen binding, promote beneficial gut bacteria, reduce gut inflammation, and interact with the intestinal mucosa. These discoveries have been fundamental in advancing our understanding of infant gut health and development.
After earning his PhD in Biochemistry with specializations in Nutrition and Neuroscience from Boston University and his BS in Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Dr. Newburg has held several prestigious positions. His career has included influential roles at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Boston College, where he directed major programs in glycobiology. This wealth of experience has established him as a leading voice in the field of human milk research.
