Optibrium and Collaborative Drug Discovery Partner on Integration of StarDrop with CDD Vault
October 31, 2016 – Pharmaceutical –
CAMBRIDGE, UK and CALIFONIA, USA, 31 October, 2016 – Optibrium™
and Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD), developers of software products
and services for drug discovery and development, today announced a
collaboration to integrate the StarDrop™ and CDD Vault platforms. This
creates a seamless connection in real time between project data,
securely held and managed in CDD Vault, and StarDropís unique compound
design and optimisation capabilities. Instant access to the latest assay
and compound data, with which a project team can share, interpret and
model their chemistry, will lead to better decisions and shorter project
timelines.
CDD Vault is a hosted biological and chemical
database that securely manages project data. It allows researchers,
across academic laboratories, research foundations, as well as small and
large companies, to intuitively organise chemical structures and
biological study data. CDD Vault supports a unique collaborative model
that enables data to be safely shared with internal or external partners
through an easy-to-use web interface.
Researchers can now
seamlessly retrieve their biological results from CDD Vault using an
intuitive search interface within StarDrop that enables users to easily
run CDD Vault queries, returning the results directly in StarDrop. This
extension to StarDrop is available free of charge to existing StarDrop
and CDD Vault users, providing a highly visual way to interpret these
data and their relationships with compound structures, clearly
highlighting the best chemistries and multi-parameter optimisation
strategies for drug discovery.
Dr Matthew Segall, CEO of
Optibrium, commented: ‘When selecting compounds the importance of
working with the most up-to-date data canít be over stated – incomplete
or out-of-date information results in time and effort being wasted. With
this in mind, our aim is for StarDrop to fully integrate with the very
ëbest in classí drug discovery informatics platforms and we are
delighted to be working with CDD to support drug discovery project teams
to make good decisions and achieve their optimisation goals faster.’
Dr.
Barry Bunin, CEO CDD, added: ‘CDD understands that efficiency in modern
drug discovery is a function of how well the industry’s thought leaders
work together. To that end, we are delighted to collaborate with
Optibrium through this integration between StarDrop and CDD Vault. CDD
Vault is particularly strong for project teams working across
disciplines and, when coupled with StarDrop’s unique ability to help
scientists make confident and objective decisions, will undoubtedly help
drug discovery project teams manage, analyze, and present chemical
structures and biological assay data.”
