The Tröger’s base molecule has a unique V-shaped cavity and can be fused together in a linear fashion to create either tubular structures or zigzag structures. These structures could be applicable in for example catalysis. The Tröger’s base scaffold is easily functionalised with different side-groups and therefore has a wide range of applications. Previous research in the Wärnmark group had led to

Hip fractures constitute a major problem, both in terms of a lower life quality for the people affected and socio-economical factors. Osteoporosis is a medical condition, defined by decreased bone mass, which results in a more fragile bone structure and a higher risk for fractures.
