Mark A. McGuire

Mark A. McGuire's research centers on human milk composition and how maternal factors—such as infection (including COVID-19), cannabis use, diet, and supplementation—affect milk's nutrients, microbiome, and immune components, and how these in turn relate to infant health. The work often combines lactation science with microbiology and nutrition, using approaches like microbiome sequencing and multi-omics analysis in mother-infant pairs. Much of this research is applied and translational, aimed at informing maternal and infant health guidance.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with a notable peak in 2021, a dip in 2022, and a steady rebound to roughly 9-11 publications per year from 2023-2025.
