The International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC) is a scientific society made up of scientists and innovators all of whom share the aim to discover the functions and impact of lactation and its remarkable product, milk. The organization’s goals are also to educate the community of the implications of those scientific discoveries and to help bring them to practice for human health. Our scientific members are the base of our organization and are essential for scientific advancement in the fields of lactation and milk science. Vision The IMGC’s vision is to be the world’s knowledge hub of mechanistic science, innovation and impact in lactation, milk and dairy research in order to improve human health. Mission The IMGC’s mission is to provide a collaborative, multi-disciplinary, pre-competitive platform for scientific discoveries of the structures, functions, actions and benefits of lactation and milk and to facilitate the translation of that knowledge into practice for human health. Objectives IMGC’s objectives include leading the global community in the scientific exploration of lactation and milk. Lactation and milk represent the most exciting and translatable scientific field of study for human health. The IMGC guides scientists and innovators from around the world and across all scientific disciplines to common challenges and opportunities of milk research. IMGC increases awareness of scientific advancements and identifies actionable opportunities in lactation, milk and dairy science through multiple mechanisms: 1) the international, Annual IMGC Symposium that features scientific research related to lactation, milk and dairy science for human health; 2) the Awards Program that supports new scientists; and 3) SPLASH!®, the IMGC’s free, monthly, scientific publication that translates the latest scientific discoveries in lactation, and milk and dairy science from primary literature into accessible articles for a broader audience.
