  • CDD Vault - allows scientists to maintain a private and secure collection of their data.
  • CDD Collaborate - individual research groups can securely share subsets of data between Vaults.
  • CDD Public - a free database for fostering open collaboration containing over 3 million molecules accessible to everyone in the drug discovery community at large.
  • Collaborations

    The capability for inter-group collaboration attracted attention from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who in 2008 awarded CDD with a two million dollar grant being used to support researchers combating Tuberculosis.

    In 2010, GlaxoSmithKline released 13,471 molecules screened for activity against Malaria to the public. These molecules and their associated screening data are available via CDD Public, as well in as the National Library of Medicine's PubChem and the European Bioinformatics Institute's ChEMBL database. This data has served as the basis for several cheminformatics analyses

    In February 2011 CDD began participating in the collaborative MM4TB project led by Professor Stewart Cole and including participants from AstraZeneca and Sanofi Aventis
