Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD) provides trailing
innovation for today’s chemical and biological data needs,
differentiated by ease-of-use and superior collaborative
data sharing workflows. Within the CDD vault software,
activity and registration, visualization, inventory, and ELN
capabilities all address today’s markets. Secure, web-based
collaborative technologies are especially applicable to the
informatics needs of (and broadly used by) public-private-
partnerships (PPPs). Web-based platforms are a natural fit
for collaboration due to the economic, architectural, and
design benefits of a single platform that transcends any one
organization’s solo requirements. In contrast to the CDD vault
for today’s collaborations, CDD’s Research Informatics Group
invents bleeding edge technologies for tomorrow’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.
CDD and Pfizer have demonstrated that these open source
descriptors and models were statistically like commercial
models. The main idea is to democratize model building
to engage experimentalists to want to use models. As
a second example, the recently developed BioAssay
Express (BAE) technology streamlines the conversion of
human-readable assay descriptions to computer-readable
information Tanimoto (Jaccard) chemical and biological
sequence similarity searches. BAE uses. Here the main idea
is to allow researchers to easily search and combine similar
bioassay protocols, even though those similarity searches
are much more difficult than semantic standards to markup
bioprotocols, which unleashes the full power of informatics
technology on data that could previously only be organized
by crude text searching
61/). These two newer web-technologies may be used not
only with the CDD Vault, but also with other commercial,
academic, or government built software tools. All open
source components are in GitHub.
Speaker Biography
Luke’s background brings twenty years of experience in scientific informatics solutions.
Managing Pre-Sales, Post-Sales and working in Account Management has expanded his
domain knowledge of scientific informatics and provided him the ability to maintain
a successful track record. Luke serves leading pharmaceutical, biotech, agricultural,
chemicals, academic and government labs. Luke has experience in scientific software
solutions from the smaller scale deployment of point solutions like molecular modeling
packages to the larger enterprise scale of ELNs, scientific workflow technologies,
data content, analysis and visualization. His background also includes managing the
support complexity of software integration strategies based on numerous mergers and
acquisitions.
