Sean Seeho

Associate Professor Sean Seeho is a Joint Head of the Specialty of Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Neonatology at the University of Sydney's Sydney Medical School - Northern. He holds an academic position in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. His research focuses on maternal-fetal medicine, pregnancy complications, placental biology, and perinatal health. Notably, he has contributed to studies on preeclampsia recurrence, placenta accreta treatment, and gestational diabetes management.

His work spans clinical trials (e.g., Breathing for Life Trial for asthma management) and epidemiological studies on outcomes of pregnancies affected by conditions like fetal growth restriction. He has also explored the impact of interventions such as probiotics for preterm labor and the role of oxygen sensing pathways in pregnancy disorders.

Recent grants include projects on gestational diabetes delivery timing and probiotic therapy for preterm rupture of membranes. His research emphasizes translating findings into clinical practice, such as optimizing labor induction protocols and improving maternal vaccination acceptance.

Key collaborations involve multi-center studies (e.g., with Royal Australasian College of Physicians) and international cohorts. His publications highlight a focus on reducing stillbirth rates, managing comorbidities like inflammatory bowel disease in pregnancy, and refining surgical approaches for placental complications.
