Irish Travellers and Ancestral Microbiome

Outside The Colony

Dr. Fergus Shanahan, MD, DSc, MRIA, is a luminary in medicine, with over forty years dedicated to alleviating chronic inflammatory bowel disease. He's also an emeritus professor of medicine at University College Cork, celebrated for contributions to medical science. Irish Travellers embarked on a journey to rediscover their origins, challenging prevailing narratives. This quest led to extraordinary revelations, revealing a lost heritage predating industrialization and colonial influences. TraVision Foundation stands at the intersection of Dr. Shanahan's research and the Travellers' quest for identity. Founded on collaboration, it bridges the two narratives, offering transformative insights. The foundation's commitment to unraveling the microbiome's role in Traveller history and health opens new research avenues, highlighting the importance of preserving diverse cultural identities. TraVision Foundation operates unfunded and welcomes any financial support to continue its vital work. [Donate here] (https://gofund.me/a2049b0f). Your support matters. Thank you.
