The Physical Sciences in Oncology Network (PS-ON) is a network of centers and projects set up by the
National Institutes of Health (NIH)National Cancer Institute (NCI) to link the physical sciences with the study of
cancer.[1]
The program was launched in 2009 with Physical Sciences in Oncology Centers (PS-OCs) investigating complex and challenging questions in cancer research from a physical sciences perspective. To explore how the NCI could continue to support the integration of physical sciences and cancer research, a Think Tank and series of Strategic Workshops were held in 2012. These meetings served to update opportunities at the interface of physical sciences and cancer research and guided the development of the second phase including Physical Sciences in Oncology Projects (PS-OPs).[2]
