Adrienne Millner, MD, IBCLC, (she/her/hers) has been an advocate for mothers and other breastfeeding parents since 2002 when she began as a volunteer for La Leche League International. She has been a board-certified lactation consultant since 2009, and her interest in human lactation paved the way to a career in medicine. She received her medical education at the Medical College of Virginia and completed residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Virginia Tech-Carilion School of Medicine.

Marielle S. Gross MD, received her medical degree from University of Florida College of Medicine with Honors in Research in 2014. She completed her residency in Gynecology & Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2018. She received the Williams Senior Resident Research Award in 2017 for Breastfeeding Policy for US Women Living with HIV: An Ethical Analysis of the Evidence and was inducted into the Johns Hopkins Distinguished Teaching Society in 2017.

Prior to coming to the University of Pittsburgh, Marielle was a Hecht-Levi Postdoctoral Fellow at the Johns-Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Her research continues to focus on the application of technology and elimination of bias as means of promoting evidence-basis, equity and efficiency in women’s healthcare. She pursues these themes along two key dimensions. First, she is exploring ethics of health data and implementation of learning health systems via emerging technologies (e.g., blockchain, artificial intelligence and privacy-preserving computation). She challenges the status quo in ethical, sociocultural, legal and technical models for data treatment, for example by advancing the concept of "health data as labor" and critiquing current ethical and legal protections for data use both within and outside of traditional healthcare research contexts. The second major dimension focuses on dismantling "Prejudice Based Medicine," i.e., policies and practices which are not evidence-based and which tend to exacerbate disparities in health and healthcare. She has explored these issues in depth as they affect women living with HIV, hepatitis or substance use, and is currently studying disrespect and bias in prenatal records.”
