Transbiome is a study that seeks to characterize the neo-vaginal microbiome of trans women (participants are expected to mostly be French, or otherwise in the EU). The project team includes Open Humans staff, @gedankenstuecke (study coordinator) and @madprime (co-advisor).
The project uses Open Humans to de-identify data collection (survey responses and microbiome analysis) and provide participants with optional access to data generated from the samples they contribute.
Should this project be visible and available for all Open Humans members to join?

Project info
- Title: Transbiome
- Managed by: Bastian Greshake Tzovaras, Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity (CRI)
- Description: The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of the microbial diversity and composition of the microbiomes that are found in neo-vaginas. To that end we aim to analyze the neo-vaginal microbiome of several trans women and will also investigate whether different surgical techniques and post-operative care have an impact on its constitution.
