The Christian Doppler Laboratory for Entropy Oriented Drug Design (EnODD) focuses on minimising the flexibility of drug molecules through the use of fused ring systems and aims at designing, synthesising and validating rigid and "natural-product-like" compounds right from the beginning of the drug discovery process.
The Christian Doppler Laboratories conduct application-oriented basic research at a high level and expert scientists cooperate with innovative companies. The Christian Doppler Research Association is an international best practice example for promoting this collaboration. Funding for the Christian Doppler Laboratories comes from public sources and the participating companies. The most important public sponsor is the Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs (BMDW).
