Biography

Chris leads the Marine Invertebrate Immunology Physiology Laboratory; an impact-led applied research team interested in developing mechanistic understanding of host-pathogen interactions in cultured shellfish and understanding the environmental effects on the physiology of marine invertebrates, particularly in relation to environmental change. Hauton has an extensive research background including significant contributions to shrimp health research in Bangladesh, where he played a crucial role in the development of a mobile application to aid shrimp farmers. His research on potential toxic risks associated with deep-sea mining and the ecological risks of marine activities has led to contributions to the Royal Society's reports and expert presentations at international platforms such as the UN International Seabed Authority. He has also served as a peer reviewer for numerous scientific journals and has been actively involved in various funding and review panels at national and international levels.
