Dr. Edginton is a member of the “Drugs in Lactation” Analysis Consortium (DLAC). DLAC is a network of scientists who explore drug safety during breastfeeding. The network is designed for collection of patient breast milk samples in a real world setting, to generate pharmacokinetic information (how drugs are absorbed, distributed in body and metabolized). This information enables the researchers to predict drug levels in human milk and infant blood in a population.
DLAC is headed by Dr. Shinya Ito and is housed at SickKids in Toronto, ON, Canada.
