Why choose CCDC services?
From rapid reports to long-term partnerships, we provide secure, confidential analysis of your proprietary structures.
- Expertise: our team are the world experts on leveraging informatics techniques to gain actionable insights. For over a decade they have designed and used these methods on a range of targets.
- Trust: we have provided services to top pharma and emerging biotech clients for over a decade. We take security seriously, and are Cyber Essentials certified.
- Data-Driven: our consultancy leverages validated experimental data in the CSD, Cambridge Structural Database. This means you can be confident insights are based in real-world data.
- Confidence: advance your projects faster. Complement and guide your experimental work, or support the in-licensing of a new compound.
Contract Research
Your time and resource to spend on research projects is limited, and you want to be sure you are utilising all tools to best advantage. Why not let our contract research team take on some of the load?
Drug Development Consultancy
Use our expertise to make the right choices in solid-form selection using our world leading expertise in Solid Form Informatics. We can provide a risk assessment for your solid forms and rationalise your screening protocols by applying the knowledge contained within our database of hundreds of thousands of crystal structures.
Service to Solve Molecular Structure from Powder Pattern
Using DASH, one of the most powerful packages for structure solution from PXRD and developed by CCDC in collaboration with the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, our expert crystallographers can help you to solve knotty problems.
Cheminformatics Search Service
Pay-per-search – we can design Cambridge Structural Database search queries for you to search the published literature for known molecular structures. We provide datasets for individual projects and patent investigations.
Materials Science Consultancy
Apply real-world knowledge to aid in your design of metal-organic frameworks, catalysts, molecular electronics, nanotechnology or novel optical materials.
Solid Form Health Check
The Solid Form Health Check provides bespoke analysis of your crystal structure to assess risks and guide your development.
Discovery Services
Docking: let us assess binding and help you understand your compound behaviour.
Pharmacophore analysis: define and understand key features of your structure to identify possible changes.
Scaffold hopping: improve the medicinal chemistry of a lead through targeted core scaffold changes.
Data Curation Services
Custom database creation: make your crystal structures, XRD patterns and more organised and searchable.
Database assessment: have our team assess your systems and make recommendations to improve speed and access.
