Studying the Transbiome

[Bastian Greshake Tzovaras]

Hey folks,
I wanted to share a citizen & open science project that we’re just launching and which I think might be of interest for you: The Transbiome study! https://en.goteo.org/project/transbiome 

Some background on this: Clara, a master student in our lab, has designed a community-driven research study into the microbial diversity found in trans women’s neo-vagina. It’s a topic that hasn’t been studied so far and it’s a big barrier for trans women to get adequate gynecological care due to a lack of basic knowledge. As a trans woman who wants to become a gynecologist after her Master’s it’s a project that comes from a lot of personal drive! Unfortunately, we don’t have any academic funding at this point to help finance the materials & services needed to make this study happen. That’s why we’ve just launched a crowdfunding campaign for this project for which we would need your help. Every contribution counts, no matter how small.

I fully understand if during this time you can’t contribute financially. If that’s the case and you want to help us in a different way: Please share the campaign more widely with your networks, on social media etc: https://en.goteo.org/project/transbiome  

Last but not least: Our aim is to analyze 50 samples, so if you’re interested in participating, check out the campaign page for more information on that too!

Thanks so much, 
Bastian

Really interesting study! Is it OK to share this on some of the marginally less-toxic social media, like the Fediverse?

Thanks Cathal! That’s absolutely okay and we’d love to see it spread as widely as possible! 👍
