Scientific consultancy from CCDC allows you to gain access to our talented and enthusiastic structural science researchers, developers and technical specialists; and a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Our services include contract research, solid-form services, discovery services and data curation.

Your time and resource to spend on research projects is limited, and you want to be sure you are utilizing all tools to best advantage. Why not let our contract research team take on some of the load? Harness our extensive expertise in structural chemistry including structure based virtual screening, series optimization, 3D model validation and much more.

Get extra assurances about your solid form product, backed by the world’s structural chemistry knowledge. Our secure, cheminformatics-based analyses can help to identify potential polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, stability issues, and more.
The CCDC has a long history of partnerships with top pharmaceutical companies. We deeply understand solid form informatics, data security, and the need for reliable, timely results. We analyze your crystal structure data using software and scripts powered by the Cambridge Structural Database, or CSD, the world’s repository of experimentally determined small molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. With this collective knowledge, harnessed from the scientific literature and direct data sharing since 1965, your structure’s properties are assessed. This does not replace experimental solid form screening but helps to inform, prioritize and validate this work.

Our trusted Solid Form Healthcheck approach has seen success in the literature, with Pfizer using this method to identify risks in a viral entry inhibitor that had been missed in the experimental screen (Docherty et al. Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2015, 67, 6, 857-868).
