Macy & György

Icie Gertrude Macy and Paul György were pioneers in research concerning human milk and lactation, scientists who understood the importance of breastfeeding to maternal and child health, humanitarians, and inspirations to subsequent generations of scientists in the field of human milk and lactation. It is only fitting that the Senior Investigator Award of the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation should be named after these two outstanding historical figures. A brief history of each of those individuals can be found at the links below.
