CatSci Ltd, a scientifically-led, commercially-minded and award-winning innovation partner for medicines development, is pleased to announce its strategic collaboration with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC)<\/a>, the world-leading experts in structural chemistry data. CatSci\u2019s experimental expertise in material science combined with CCDC\u2019s informatics tools will offer a fully integrated solution to our customers, adding strategic value to their journey from molecule to medicine.<\/p>\n CCDC\u2019s informatics-based services apply big data learnings from over 1 million published crystal structures to better understand solid forms, which will help to guide CatSci\u2019s experimental screening. This reflects CatSci\u2019s continuous evolution in delivering perfect-for-purpose solutions to our customers while de-risking their pharmaceutical pipeline.<\/p>\n Dr Robert Dennehy<\/a>, Director of Crystallisation and Solid State and Scientific Advisory Board Member at CatSci, said of this collaboration: \u201cIdentifying the most stable polymorph and understanding the risks around hydration are essential for success when developing new medicines. The power of CCDC\u2019s informatics tools will be used to validate the results of the focused experimental screens conducted here at CatSci. We believe that this coupling of experimental and in-silico approaches will significantly reduce the risk of a more stable polymorph or hydrate appearing in later development, and ultimately enhance the probability of small molecule success.\u201d<\/p>\n Jonathan Betts<\/a>, Director of Business Development at the CCDC, said that \u201cCombining informatics insights from real world data with experimental results is a powerful way to get the fullest picture of a system of interest. Increasingly, the two approaches are used in complement to advance pharmaceutical development. By coupling CatSci\u2019s experimental services with CCDC\u2019s informatics services, researchers can access a more complete picture that ultimately advances more products to launch.\u201d<\/p>\n CatSci is delighted by its partnership with the CCDC as it comes at the time of our 10 year anniversary<\/a>, which celebrates our decade of being a trusted and dependable partner for innovation to the global pharmaceutical industry. By building upon what the company has achieved over the years, we are continually growing and enhancing our capabilities to always provide \u2018more and better\u2019 for our customers in the future.<\/p>\n \u00a9 CatSci Ltd, 2021.<\/p>\n For more information, including media enquiries, please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n CatSci Ltd<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Sofia C.
