TDEC is a research resource–sharing and data integration platform that brings together key biological resources from major domestic universities, research institutes, industry partners, and plant conservation centers. These resources include valuable natural product crude extracts, purified compounds, and related derivatives derived from traditional herbal medicines, marine organisms, and microorganisms.

TDEC connects natural product providers with drug discovery and development researchers, integrating multidisciplinary research information to enable cross-disciplinary and cross-regional collaboration in new drug development. By bringing together experts in natural products, pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, and biology, TDEC consolidates critical drug discovery data and establishes a national platform for the integration and sharing of research resources in innovative drug development.

Through TDEC, researchers across diverse disciplines can showcase their valuable research outcomes and data, while also gaining access to research achievements and insights shared by other members. This collaborative matchmaking mechanism inspires new research directions, enhances the value of existing studies through strategic connections, and creates a mutually beneficial ecosystem in which natural product providers and drug discovery researchers achieve shared academic and research value.
