Joanne Babula
Research Scientist | Ridgeline Therapeutics"We were spun out of academia and didn't have any data tracking system. With CDD Vault we are now able to compile all results in one place and compare different compounds on the same page - really useful! The ELN is very beneficial as well. We can easily prepare a slide deck from the well-organized data to present to investors and partners."
Julio Medina
CEO | R2M Pharma"I have evaluated different systems during my 25 years in the biotech industry. For us, the main factor in choosing CDD Vault was the ease of implementation—how intuitive and easy the system is to use. Sometimes you get systems that are very powerful, but only one person who is trained can use it. Most of us like systems where it's so easy to use that it doesn't require a big learning process to get value from it."
Leah Glanzmann
Doctoral Researcher | Universität Heidelberg"After a brief introduction, I was immediately convinced that CDD was ideal for my project, where I need to keep track of a large molecular library. I was particularly impressed by the option of filtering for structural fragments. Creating a comparable setup myself would have taken an unmanageable amount of time. In addition, you can always rely on the outstanding customer support."
Leonard Trau
M.Sc. Candidate in Biotechnology, University of Münster | iGEM"I believe many of us will no longer want to do without the Vault and will encourage its use in our institutes as an alternative to cluttered folder structures on networks."
