Kate Hamilton

Kate Hamilton is a Lecturer in the Department of Lifelong Learning at Aberystwyth University, where she teaches sciences to lifelong learners through specialized educational programs for adult and non-traditional students.

Her research spans Marine Biology, Parasitology, Immunology, Microbiology, and Ecology, with concentrated expertise in crustacean diseases and marine parasite dynamics. She investigates host-pathogen interactions in marine ecosystems, particularly focusing on Hematodinium infections in crustacean communities.

Her research trajectory is defined by a single 2009 publication in the ICES Journal of Marine Science analyzing seasonal infection patterns of Hematodinium in Scottish waters. This work establishes her contribution to marine parasitology and ecosystem health monitoring, though no subsequent publications are documented.
