The Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD) database

Abstract

The broad goals of Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD) are to enable a collaborative "cloud-based" tool to be used to bring together neglected disease researchers and other researchers from usually separate areas, to collaborate and to share compounds and drug discovery data in the research community, which will ultimately result in long-term improvements in the research enterprise and health care delivery. This chapter briefly introduces CDD software and describes applications in antimalarial and tuberculosis research.
