The mission of the CCDD is to discover novel small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and progress them to hypothesis testing phase 1 clinical trials. In terms of compound libraries, we have a high-throughput screening library of about 200,000 ligands. We can screen with many different formats and modalities.
