A founder-led purpose
Founded by Goddess Phenezy—a Black woman and combat Marine—canXcer puts representation and accountability inside the research question itself. It starts with cancer and gaps affecting Black communities and veterans, without limiting who can benefit from better science.
The Research Participant Network supports interests in cancer, lupus, sickle cell, Alzheimer’s, veteran health, neurological disease, rare disease, and other debilitating diseases. Research conclusions require disease-specific evidence and validation.
What canXcer promises—and does not
canXcer helps researchers frame better questions, keep evidence traceable, compare like with like, and preserve uncertainty. It also gives prospective participants a separate application path with clear preferences, explainable potential matches, and explicit sharing choices. It does not claim cures, diagnose disease, recommend treatment, or replace a physical laboratory or human scientific judgment.
Public and private contributions need different consent, rights, and review processes. A community question can inspire research without becoming a scientific fact or exposing someone's personal health information.
People ask. Science answers.
The Village invites a wider range of questions; the research record keeps the methods, provenance, and review visible. Those paths meet through separate research and participant permissions, with room to report missing evidence and disagreement. Public visitors can review the trial application without signing in; real participant registration remains closed until the reviewed consent and privacy procedures are approved.
