Core Facilities

Computational Chemistry and Biology Core Facility

The Computational Chemistry and Biology (CCB) Core Facility provides a wide array of advanced tools and services for computational-based simulations and modeling of chemical and biological systems. Located on the Anschutz Medical Campus of the University of Colorado in the new Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences building, the CCB Core offers specialized expertise to researchers in both academia and the biotech/pharmaceutical industry to:

• Develop and test hypotheses in silico before executing costly experimental methodologies
• Reduce the time and costs involved in cutting-edge research, target validation, and novel therapeutic development
• Provide additional mechanistic justification for experimental results obtained in the laboratory
• Aid in the analysis and communication of results for grant submissions, publications, and presentations to the scientific community and the public at large.

Drug Discovery and Development Shared Resource (D3SR) 

The Center for Drug Discovery mission is to provide essential infrastructure and expertise to both academic researchers and industry, facilitating drug discovery and development to build a robust pipeline of lead drug candidates for clinical translation. The Center has established the Drug Discovery and Development Shared Resource (D3SR), consisting of 4 services working iteratively, including (1) high-throughput discovery sciences featuring state-of-the-art robotic automation and instrumentation; (2) drug design and medicinal chemistry; (3) pharmaceutics; and (4) in vivo pharmacology. The D3SR is also affiliated with the University of Colorado Cancer Center, offering discounted rates on select services for cancer center members.

D3SR Services:

• High-throughput Discovery Sciences
• Medicinal Chemistry
• Pharmaceutics
• In Vivo Pharmacology
