Single-molecule fluorescence in sequence space
The sequence-dependence of biomolecular interactions involving nucleic acids and proteins is essential for numerous processes inside the cell. Insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms have been obtained using various biochemical and biophysical methods on two different levels — bulk and sin…

Reasoning about object-oriented programs: from classes to interfaces
Throughout the history of computer science, a major challenge has been how to assert that software is free of bugs and works as intended. Software bugs can lead to serious negative impacts on any software system. Throughout the main body of the thesis, we implemented a series of studies on exploring…

The developing infant gut microbiota: mathematical predictions of the effects of oligosaccharides
A complex community of microbes develops in the infant gut shortly after birth. We call this community the infant gut microbiota. The microbiota influences the health of the infant, which makes the composition and function of the infant gut microbiota an important topic to study.

Development of new chemical tools to study the cannabinoid receptor type 2
The endocannabinoid receptors CB1R and CB2R are involved in a plethora of processes, and consequently are involved in many pathological conditions. Their wide distribution makes the CBRs both an interesting therapeutic target and hard to study.

Waarom Psychologie in Leiden?
In Leiden verdiep je je onder meer in het brein, de sociale omgeving en psychische gezondheid van mensen. De onderwerpen die worden behandeld gaan over het dagelijks leven en zijn vaak heel herkenbaar. Je gaat menselijke gedragingen beter begrijpen en je leert met een andere bril naar de wereld te k…

Kiezen voor gezond: hoe stimuleren we dat?
Fundamenteel onderzoek leert ons hoe ons brein beslist om nog een dropje te eten in plaats van te gaan sporten. Een publieke voorlichtingscampagne over gezonde levensstijl heeft weinig impact op die beslissing, weet hoogleraar Algemene Psychologie Bernard Hommel. Hij weet wat wel werkt. Maar willen…

Multi Modal Representation Learning and Cross-Modal Semantic Matching
Humans perceive the real world through their sensory organs: vision, taste, hearing, smell, and touch. In terms of information, we consider these different modesalso referred to as different channels of information or modals.

Discovery of selective diacylglycerol lipase β inhibitors
Diacylglycerol lipases (DAGLα and DAGLβ) are responsible for the biosynthesis of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in the brain and peripheral tissues. Selective DAGLβ inhibitors have been proposed as a potential treatment for inflammatory diseases with reduced potential for central…
