He has extensive ultrasound experience and training, and is focused in First Trimester Screening for genetic abnormalities, as accredited by Fetal Medicine Foundation.

Dr. Seethram’s research interests include placental function and the impact of early placental disorders on expression of placental proteins as well as genetic determinants of infertility.
