Altijd interesse gehad in het werken met kinderen en een master doen die gericht is op ouderen. Klinkt gek? Niet voor masterstudent Geneeskunde Anna Suurmeijer. Met de kennis die zij tijdens haar wachttijd voor coschappen opdeed, ontwikkelde zij een bredere blik (en niet alleen op medisch gebied).

Dit onderzoeksprogramma brengt door het verkennen van de grenzen van het internationaal publiekrecht deze verandering van de internationale rechtsorde in kaart.

The extensive use of electronic communication channels and other devices has opened new possibilities for collecting data on human behavior. This information is sometimes openly accessible, but largely part of administrative registration systems that are not open to the broader public. The data provides…

The overarching goal of this PhD thesis is to investigate the taxonomic and functional diversity of yeasts in the wheat phyllosphere and their interactions with the mycotoxigenic fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum.

How did we come into existence? Are we alone? These questions have driven humans for centuries.

The coursework within the Science Communication and Society (SCS) specialisation prepares students for internships and a career in communication about science and health.

The overarching clinical aim of this thesis was to improve pharmacological pain management by characterizing the pharmacodynamics of analgesics. This promotion has been awarded the predicate cum laude.

This dissertation presents a new perspective on the life, work and character of the Dutch physical chemist Jacobus Henricus van ’t Hoff, first recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and one of the most important and colourful scientists in Dutch history. The image of Van ’t Hoff that emerges from…

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.

Machine Learning is becoming a more and more substantial technology for industry.

Our recent excavations have focused on the more recent New Kingdom/Late Period (ca. 1500-332 BCE) material.

Met dit project wordt van een evidence-based onderwijsmethodiek (toolkit) ontwikkeld voor docenten van alle vakgebieden in het hoger onderwijs voor het effectief omgaan met controversiële onderwerpen in de les.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are central components of the innate immune system, functioning as pattern recognition receptors that detect microbial- and damage-associated molecular patterns and initiate antimicrobial and inflammatory responses.

Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is widely used to automatically build a suitable practical Machine Learning (ML) model for an arbitrary real-world problem, reducing the effort of practitioners in the ML development cycle for real-world applications. Optimization is a key part of a typical AutoML…

One of the major limitations in culturing complex tissues or organs is the lack of vascularization in the cultured tissue. Development of a functional capillary bed could overcome this problem.

What are the pressing issues of our time, and how can different disciplines come together to address them? Studium Generale and Leiden University College (LUC) present the Global Challenges series: events that bring together researchers from LUC and experts from other disciplines to tackle a shared…

The work described in this Thesis is focused on the assembly of oligosaccharide fragments derived from a fungal polysaccharide, galactosaminogalactan (GAG) and fragments of the exopolysaccharide Pel, generated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The main topic of this PhD thesis is the Arakelov ray class group of a number field, an algebraic object that contains both the ideal class group structure and the unit group structure.

With the rise of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens, the possibility of a post-antibiotic world is quickly becoming reality.

The thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and changing physical architectures during the formation of stars.

This thesis investigates how non-genetic factors, such as inflammation and concomitant medication, impact hepatic drug metabolism and subsequent drug metabolizing phenotype predictions.

Extending our current arsenal of antibiotics is key to staying ahead in the arms race between humans and resistant bacteria.

Wat maakte het vroege islamitische rijk zo succesvol en hebben we het verhaal gemist door cruciaal bewijs te negeren? De Arabische veroveringen in de 7e eeuw veranderden de sociaal-politieke configuraties in het Middellandse Zeegebied en Eurazië voorgoed. Toch weten we niet echt hoe de Arabieren erin…

Dit was het programma van De Kennisboomgaard 2025:

The aims of the project are to: further clarify 'inhibition by safety'; explore and describe all possible sagety factors, with a special focus on the primary human safety source: social connectedness; reviewing prolonged stress responses without stressors.

This thesis describes the synthesis, analysis of various tetrazine bearing compounds and use in bioorthogonal chemistry.

Corruption, integrity (or a lack thereof…) and public values are near omnipresent elements in public administration and politics of all times. Cases of corrupt public officials and politicians continuously emerge. Strangely enough, however, it often remains unknown what actually occurred, how something…

In this study, we investigated the electrochemical behavior and surface evolution of Au(111) electrode under different conditions and electrochemical techniques, using a homemade electrochemical scanning tunneling microscope (EC-STM), revealing the intricate interplay between surface roughening, atom…

Denk je schaamte om en maak het je kracht.

Heterogeneous catalyzed processes are highly significant to the chemical industry. Dissociative chemisorption (DC) of molecules on surfaces is always considered as a step with a high degree of rate control for heterogeneous catalysis.

Programma's die de symptomen van sociale angst bij kinderen willen verminderen, omvatten doorgaans meerdere onderdelen, zoals blootstelling en mentale herstructurering. Het is onbekend of afzonderlijke onderdelen positieve effecten opleveren bij kinderen of dat een combinatie van onderdelen nodig is…

This thesis focused on the exploration of monolayer graphene as a membrane in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications, with improvements achieved through plasma exposure or damage- free chemical functionalization.

The work in this thesis has been focused on two subjects. The first is the assembly of alginate oligosaccharides and the generation of building blocks for the enzymatic synthesis of alginate, and the second is the total synthesis of large fragments of the zwitterionic SP1 polysaccharide.

Galaxies form and evolve through close interaction with their surroundings. As a result, the heavy elements ('metals') that are synthesized in stars, are found both inside and outside galaxies.

This thesis studies operator-algebraic aspects of subproduct systems, a generalization of product systems of Hilbert spaces.

This thesis focuses on data found in the field of computational drug discovery. New insight can be obtained by applying machine learning in various ways and in a variety of domains. Two studies delved into the application of proteochemometrics (PCM), a machine learning technique that can be used to…
