Christopher Pantin

Christopher Pantin is an Associate Professor and Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of Human Sciences, The University of Western Australia. His research focuses on sleep medicine, particularly obstructive sleep apnea and related therapies.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Western Australia.

Pantin's research spans obstructive sleep apnea, polysomnography, rapid eye movement sleep, and sleep time. He has made significant contributions to oral appliance therapy for sleep-disordered breathing, especially mandibular advancement devices. His work involves clinical studies to evaluate novel treatments for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, often in collaboration with industry partners to develop practical therapeutic solutions.

Analysis of his 2017-2024 publications reveals sustained focus on innovative treatments including laser therapy (NightLase) and mandibular advancement devices (Oventus O2VentT). The research demonstrates clinical translation efforts with industry, examining treatment predictors and efficacy through polysomnography-based outcomes.

He was an investigator on the project 'Impact on Upper Airway Mechanics of a Built in Oral Appliance Airway (O2 Vent T) in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea' (2017-2019), funded by Oventus Pty Ltd. This work has been referenced in 4 patents and has 69 readers on Mendeley.

Pantin collaborates extensively with key researchers including David Hillman and Peter Eastwood, forming a robust network in respiratory physiology and sleep disorder therapeutics.
