Application of technology is one of the ambitions of our vision on teaching and learning (Learning@LeidenUniversity).

The Claessen lab studies morphogenesis and phenotypic heterogeneity in filamentous actinomycetes, which are prolific antibiotic producers. We pursue several research projects that span areas of multicellular growth and development, stress-adaptation and microbial evolution. By using multidisciplinary…

My research is focused on the host-pathogen interplay during infection in Mycobacterium avium and comparing with better studied mycobacterial pathogens like M. tuberculosis and M. marinum. My work addresses two crucial processes in mycobacterial pathogenesis: the intracellular trafficking inside macrophages…

Our research is aimed at understanding the factors involved in creating cell wall-deficient cells. We investigate the bacterial stress responses to identify the mechanism and genomic alterations behind switching between the walled to wall-less state. With this project, we contribute towards novel treatment…
