Patrick completed his PhD in Environmental Microbiology at the University of Bath, in collaboration with the Natural History Museum, London, where he explored microbial eukaryote diversity in Arctic ecosystems using environmental DNA and nanopore sequencing.

Before joining Bactobio, he worked at the Natural History Museum on projects using environmental sequencing to monitor soil pathogens and support sustainable agriculture.

At Bactobio, Patrick applies Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing to characterise microbial communities and advance high-throughput sequencing workflows.

Outside the lab, he enjoys football, hiking, and live music.
