Michael Carter

I am a Principal Investigator at the Centre for Human Genetics and Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care Medicine at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. I am also an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College London. My academic papers are available on here: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3403-4746 or via Google Scholar.

I have a particular focus on the pathophysiology of childhood severe inflammation and sepsis and the epidemiology of respiratory infection. I have work in "wet laboratory" methods including mass cytometry and RNA-seq and "dry lab" bioinformatic interpretation of big data. My DPhil was in the host response to infection, with a particular focus on pneumococcal pneumonia in Nepal with Profs Sir Andrew Pollard, Julian Knight, Dominic Kelly and Shrijana Shrestha.

My paediatric intensive care medicine training was mainly in London as an NIHR-funded academic clinical fellow then lecturer at Evelina London Children's Hospital / King's College London, Imperial College London Healthcare / Imperial College and St George's Hospital from 2018–2023. This also included a period in Paris as a post-doctoral researcher at Hôpital Bicêtre, AP-HP from late 2022–2023.

I am a keen teacher and would welcome opportunities to work with enthusiastic and talented students and post-doctoral scientists.

I am a poor tennis player and enthusiastic but slow swimmer.
