Problem
The current "one-size-fits-all" healthcare approach causes high treatment failure rates, necessitating a shift to personalized medicine (PM) for better patient outcomes. However, PM research requires significant amounts of funding, but, unfortunately, scientific funding comes with its own set of systemic problems. 

The scientific research funding landscape is overrun by centralization and bias, with issues rooted in economic, political and institutional influences often diverting funds from merit-based projects. These challenges include inequities in regional and demographic funding, a tendency to prioritize certain fields and short-term gains and a concentration of resources that disadvantages less established researchers, including early-career researchers. In some cases, funding can even be revoked based on arbitrary reasons not based on the science or its output. Biases in evaluation and peer review processes further exacerbate these disparities, stifling diversity and innovation. PoSciDonDAO aims to dismantle these barriers through a decentralized application and token system that incentivizes collaboration, transparency and daring research, thus optimizing scientific efficiency and maximizing scientific impact.

Solution
To overcome these issues in scientific research funding, we created PoSciDonDAO. PoSciDonDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that leverages Polygon's blockchain to redefine the funding of PM research. By doing so, PoSciDonDAO accelerates breakthroughs in PM, setting the stage for a future where healthcare is predictive, personalized and patient-centric. Its dual-token and dual-on-chain governance models facilitate efficient, transparent and unbiased resource allocation to fund research projects advancing treatments for life-altering diseases including cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Implementation
1. Conceptualization of on-chain infrastructure including token economics, donations platform, staking and governance (completed, see whitepaper: https://www.poscidondao.com/Whitepaper.pdf).
2. Development of on-chain infrastructure (work in progress).
     - On-chain donations launched on mainnet (https://protocol.poscidondao.com/donate)
     - Staking & governance smart contracts on testnet (awaiting audit)
3. Attract research proposals and expert contributors (ongoing)
4. Establishing a community of scientists, investors, bio-entrepreneurs and DeSci-enthusiasts (ongoing)
5. Commercialize PM research output to establish a sustainable DAO
