Alexander Patto

Thanks so much to @apatto_1 who bravely shared his heartbreaking story with me in the hope that it will stop other families from experiencing what he went through.

Thrilled to receive an #ERCStg grant to continue our research on PGCs in mouse #gastruloids! 🎉 Several positions available, including both experimental and computational postdocs – send me an email if you have a passion for PGCs! 📨 (1/3)

Well done to sixth form student Emma who visited the Vet School this August as part of the Nuffield Research Placement Scheme. Emma took on field sampling with WaterScope, labwork and data analysis with Pathogen Genomics & Evolution group.@CamVetSchool @PathGenEvoCam

WaterScope Testing Kit Spotlight 👀 The testing system is an all-in-one compact kit, allowing for easy transport and on-the-spot filtering & incubation without the need for complex lab equipment or technique. #waterscope #water #watertesting #cleanwater #waterforall

Our next team spotlight is Dr Sammy Mahdi - WaterScope's Lead Project Engineer. Head over to our Facebook page to read more about his background and reflections! #waterscope #water #cleanwater #waterforall #watertesting #teamspotlight #cambridge #phd #startup #uk

Diseases caused by contamination of drinking water are preventable, yet there exist many barriers to reliable bacterial testing. 💦 WaterScope has developed a smart, easy-to-use, and reliable water testing system that can be used anywhere, by anyone. ow.ly/O6og50IPvKv

Hello📍 Switzerland! CEO @apatto_1 and Lead Project Engineer @websammy93 are visiting Valais, Switzerland this week for water sampling high in the Alps! Quite a temperature shock coming from Nairobi, Kenya, last week 😎

It all began in February 2022 when three teams comprising of 5 to 7 first-year BSc Electrical and Electronics Engineering students met three inventors: @solarecycleske @WaterScope_org and @Blue_Tap at @StrathU. @SBSKenya @iLabAfrica @CGlobalEquality

Another excellent day full of meetings in Nairobi, one of which was with @ACFinKenya. We conducted training to showcase the WaterScope system in action! Excited to potentially begin a new project with them soon, testing how our system can empower local communities! #water #SDG6

Over the weekend, @apatto_1 and @websammy93 tested water samples in the Nairobi forest using our WaterScope bacterial testing system. #water #watertesting #waterquality #waterequality #fieldtesting #nairobi #kenya #sdg6 #startup #startuplife #startupjourney #bacteria #innovation

The WaterScope team is finally back in the field! Alex, Sammy, and Alicja are currently in Nairobi, Kenya, as part of our HIF-funded project with @Aquaya, @Oxfam and @Tearfund. Here Sammy trains Kara from Aquaya on how to use the system! Follow along for more updates 💧 @Elrha

On this #WorldWaterDay2022, we at WaterScope aim to raise awareness of the 2 billion people currently living without access to safe water. Today and every day we're working towards better access to reliable water testing with a goal of water equality for all. #WaterfortheWorld

@WaterScope_org I love this! Putting it through its paces…

This is how we test the robustness of our water testing system for potential "hazards" in the field. Good news - it still works, including the machine learning optics module! #waterscope #watertesting #fieldtesting #waterequality #robustnesstesting #cambridge #startup

It's been awhile...but we got the team back together this weekend for some much-needed face time! 👋 George, Alicja, Nalin, Tian, Alex, Sammy, and Kelsea! #waterscope #teambuilding #systemtest #rrobustnesstest #start-up #cambridge #maxwellcentre #endwaterinequality

@sr120 @shuggiesays I am so sorry to hear this Steve. My thoughts are with you and your family

@DeptofPhysics @chen_kaikai Thank you very much!

All the best to the six finalists competing in the Dragon's Den style grand finale today. We'll be cheering for @apatto_1 and his #WilliamOakDiagnostics project, and @chen_kaikai pitching for #CambridgeNucleomics.

We'll be there, supporting our two finalists from Physics @chen_kaikai and @apatto_1 ! 🤞🏼🌟

Second day at @Aquatech #Amsterdam showing off our on-site bacterial testing solution! #waterquality #water #startup
