CDD has supported the complementary virtues of public with private sensitive drug discovery data since the Oct 26th, 2007 publication of "1721 FDA approved drugs with designated indications, sponsor name, and chemical structures" with Dr. Christopher Lipinski.
To emphasize the security and privacy, even on a subconscious level, the platform was named and registered as the CDD Vault.
It has been doubly important to re-emphasize the security combined with the sophistication of supporting natural workflows for collaborations and hosting public data. >99 Public data sets with attribution in reverse chronological order in CDD Public can be freely browsed here:
