# Welcome to ONC

Oncology Network is an original decentralized science **(DeSci)** initiative aimed at revolutionizing cancer research by fostering collaboration among researchers, patients, and the public. 

Guided by Dr. Zohar Etzioni, a leading figure at the Ludwig Cancer Research Center from the Oxford University, this initiative harnesses innovative technologies and community engagement to accelerate the search for a cure for cancer. 

$ONC is the token powering the Oncology Network Ecosystem: <https://bscscan.com/token/0xd82109718fff521387bfed5424ead7e8a1cb9780>
