Welcome to Episode 1 of In Scientific Dialogue With...

I’m your host, Vicki Main. This month, I’m joined by Dr. Sean Carter, a John Monash Scholar and RANZCOG Senior Registrar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth. He’s currently completing a PhD at the National University of Singapore, researching the molecular and pharmacological basis of fetal lung maturation to improve antenatal corticosteroid therapy and the management of preterm birth.

Sean has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, holds several international research grants and scholarships, and has received multiple awards for his conference presentations.

Outside of research, he enjoys hiking, surfing, and sharing a whiskey with his PhD supervisor, Prof Matt Kemp.

Welcome, Dr. Sean Carter
