Case Study: University of Illinois Chicago’s UICentre enhances collaboration and data integrity with CDD Vault

University of Illinois Chicago manages 20,000+ compounds with CDD Vault

The University of Illinois Chicago (UICentre), a campus-wide drug discovery initiative, faced the challenge of managing over 20,000 compounds and securing research data across multiple, disparate labs. Their need was for a unified system to enhance collaboration, ensure data integrity, and meet NIH requirements for data management and protection, moving away from scattered spreadsheets. To address this, they turned to vendor CDD Vault for its cloud-based scientific data management platform.

CDD Vault implemented a school-wide licensing solution, providing UICentre with a secure, centralized data repository and electronic lab notebooks. This gave researchers a single source of truth, enabling enhanced collaboration between chemists and biologists and ensuring the protection of intellectual property. The solution delivered substantial savings versus individual licensing and equipped students with industry-standard tools, all while simplifying compliance with NIH data management mandates.
