Solutions for collaborative drug discovery: Connecting researchers globally

Joint Event on 7^th International Conference on Clinical Trials & 12^th World CADD & Drug Delivery Summit

Abstract :

Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD) provides trailing innovation for todayâ??s chemical and biological data needs, differentiated by ease-of-use and superior, secure collaborative data sharing workflows. Within the CDD Vault® software, activity & registration, visualization, inventory and ELN capabilities all address todayâ??s markets. Researchers need to archive, mine, and collaborate around the structure-activity relationships generated from their biological screens. Collaborative hypothesis generation and evaluation allow multiple brains to synergize. In contrast, CDDâ??s Research Informatics Group invents bleeding edge technologies for tomorrowâ??s needs. For example, open source descriptors and model sharing capabilities allow for platform-independent collaborations, even for sensitive data and IP, with groups reticent to share. As a second example, the recently developed BioAssay Express (BAE) technology streamlines the conversion of human-readable assay descriptions to computer-readable information. BAE uses semantic standards to mark up protocols, which unleashes the full power of informatics technology on data that could previously only be organized by crude text searching. These two newer web-technologies may be used not only with the CDD vault but also with non-CDD software tools. Case studies will be shared from a virtual distributed company, government (NIH Neuroscience Blueprint, MM4TB), non-profit (BMGF, MRF, NPDI), and numerous leading academic collaborations.
