One of the major objectives of CRDD is to promote open source software in the field of cheminformatics and pharmacoinformatics.
Under CRDD, numerous resources related to computer-aided drug design have been collected and compiled.
CRDD developed a platform where the community may contribute to the process of drug discovery.
Beside collecting and compiling resources, CRDD members develop new software and web services.
[citation needed] CRDD developed an open source platform which allows users to predict inhibitors against novel M. Tuberculosis drug targets and other important properties of drug molecules like ADMET.
