Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

Molecular materials have been a subject of interest in fundamental research and applications for decades, and have been studied as bulk crystals, (thin) films and as individual molecules, due to the large variety in their properties. This dissertation explores pentacene crystals near the two-dimensional…

In this thesis, I study the formation of large-scale structure and the physics of particle acceleration at large scales (~Mpc).

There are many interpretations of quantum mechanics, and ultimately experiments are needed to verify or falsify these interpretations.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

Arithmetic geometry concerns the number-theoretic properties of geometric objects defined by polynomials. Mathematicians are interested in the rational solutions to these geometric objects.

Big celebration upcoming weekend: MIRD's 20th anniversary is on the cards. Four alumni from different periods tell what this unique two-year master's in International Relations and Diplomacy has brought them.

In dit artikel in The Irish Times vertelt Pádraig Corrigan over zijn ervaring met studeren in het buitenland aan Leiden University College in Den Haag.

In this thesis we study products of linear error correcting codes.

The Low Frequency Array enables studies of low-frequency carbon radio recombination lines with unprecedented sensitivity, spectral and spatial resolution.

The European Council and the European Commission have a similar role in agenda setting. Both place issues on the EU agenda. However, these institutions have distinct designs. They have different political attributes (the European Council has considerably more political authority) and information-processing…

This dissertation is a collection of four research articles devoted to the study of Kummer theory for commutative algebraic groups.

Dit op casestudies gebaseerde Engelstalige boek over multivariate analyse voor gevorderde studenten in de geesteswetenschappen legt de nadruk op beschrijvende, exploratieve analyses van verschillende soorten datasets uit een breed scala van subdisciplines, waarbij het gebruik van multivariate analyse…

Binnen het brede netwerk van de Universiteit Leiden neemt het instituut deel aan onderzoek binnen de volgende profileringsgebieden:

This dissertation is part of a broader research project that revolves around unraveling the evolution of balanced lethal systems.

The thesis is about the study of shell evolution of the Hydrocenidae of the genus Georissa. This thesis started with a general overview on the evolutionary process of animals due to ecological changes.

Learning from small data sets in machine learning is a crucial challenge, especially when dealing with data imbalances and anomaly detection. This thesis delves into the challenges and methodologies of learning from small datasets in machine learning, with a particular focus on addressing data imbalances…

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of orphan diseases characterized by lysosomal dysfunction or impaired lysosomal catabolism and affect collectively about 1 in 5000 live births.

The mission of our group is understanding how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. We believe better science communication can improve our society and engage many different groups with science, also improving science.

Religious Studies at Leiden University allows you to study a broad spectrum of religions and their manifestations.

To get an idea of the science communication products and research that is possible, a few examples of student projects of recent years are shown below.

Een chemokuur die niets doet, totdat je hem met licht bestraalt. Voor de ontwikkeling daarvan ontving Sylvestre Bonnet een Vici-beurs van 1,5 miljoen euro. Hiermee 'bouwt' de Leidse chemicus een nieuw molecuul om tumoren te bestrijden die nu nog lastig te behandelen zijn.

Tessa van Schagen en Naomi Sedney weten hun studie Psychologie en topsport goed te combineren. Beide studenten lopen op de Olympische Spelen de estafette 4x100 meter. Van Schagen: 'Andere studenten vinden het ook wel leuk dat ik naar Rio ga.'

There is concern about the threat that nanoplastics (NPs) may pose to both wildlife and humans. This thesis explores the mechanisms of toxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) in chicken embryo.

Every organisms in the tree of life faces the same challenge: the length of its DNA exceeds the volume of the cell it needs to fit in. Several strategies have evolved to solve this problem, one of them being the expression of proteins that bind and organize the DNA.

Glycosidases are essential in fundamental biological processes and are responsible for the degradation of most (oligo)saccharides, glycolipids and glycoproteins.

Polymyxins are clinically used antibiotics, discovered in mid-20th century. Once abandoned due to excessive nephrotoxicity, they are now used increasingly to address infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria.In this thesis, we describe the development and synthesis of analogues…

The investigations described in this thesis lay out strategies aimed at advancing antibiotic research and development. The examples presented revolve around two main approaches: understanding drug-target interactions and target identification.
