Laboratory, observation and modeling work on the dissociation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in interstellar environments and the formation of new molecular species through the fragmentation process.

Quantitative biology means exploiting mathematical modelling and computer simulation as a tool to gain additional insights into the meaning of experimental data. Discover in this minor when and how to apply these tools, in a multidisciplinary setting.

This thesis aimed to investigate the impact of exposure dynamics, relative contributions of ENPs(particle) and ENPs(ion), and dosing regimens on the toxicity of ENPs varying in different physico-chemical properties, on the composition and functioning of soil microbial communities.

uman skin equivalents (HSEs) are in vitro 3D-skin models that mimic many aspects of the native human skin (NHS) and can be a valuable tool.

Het beroep van musicus vereist sterke reflectieve, samenwerkende, creatieve en improvisatievaardigheden, maar de overheersende één-op-één-lessen in het conservatoriumonderwijs zijn vooral gericht op de overdracht van ambachtelijke vaardigheden. Door de effecten van het samenwerkend en ervaringsleren…

Het onderzoeksprogramma Industrial Ecology heeft als doel de ecologische transformatie naar duurzaamheid te ondersteunen van maatschappij en milieu. Het onderzoeksonderwerp is Industriële Ecologie in zijn breedste definitie, waaronder de analyse van milieusystemen en de integratie van de sociale en…

Wat is het verband tussen materie met zwakke en sterke gravitationele wisselwerkingen?

In vitro disease models play a fundamental role in drug research. They enable the systemic identification and validation of disease mechanisms and the discovery of possible drug targets. However, more than often, drug candidates that are identified in vitro fail in the later clinical stages of drug…

De masteropleiding Statistics & Data Science is een tweejarige master waarbij een diep doorgronde introductie wordt gelegd aan de algemene filosofie en methodologie van statistische modellen, statistisch modelleren, data analyse en data science, met de voornaamste focus op toepassingen in levens- en…

Bij Data Science & Artificial Intelligence leer je hoe je functies van het brein, zoals denken, geheugen, leren en aandacht in modellen kunt gieten. Deze kennis kun je gebruiken om computers en systemen op vergelijkbare of betere manieren te laten functioneren.

Welke dosis geneesmiddel geef je een kind? Dat hang voor een groot deel van af van hoe snel hun nieren dit medicijn weer uit het bloed verwijderen. Om ethische redenen is het onmogelijk om dit bij jonge patiënten te meten. Promovenda Sinziana Cristea combineerde verschillende modelleermethodes en veel…

Het verzamelen en interpreteren van grote hoeveelheden data is niet meer weg te denken uit de maatschappij en de wetenschap. De Universiteit Leiden is een kennis- en expertisecentrum van data science dat de nadruk legt op interdisciplinaire samenwerking en innovatie.

The function of TLRs in innate immunity has aroused worldwide attention soon after its discovery. Because of the broad functions of TLR2 in innate immunity, the drive for the development of TLR2-targeted vaccines or therapeutic treatments has accelerated in the last decades.

In today's volatile market environments, companies must be able to continuously innovate. In this context, innovation does not only refer to the development of new products or business models but often also affects the entire organization, which has to transform its structures, processes, and ways of…

We developed the bitterling as a unique, well-studied model organism in the area of the evolutionary ecology of brood parasitism. The bitterling-mussel relationship, interspecific mussel host preference, and mussel gill structure are studied in detail, to help understand the developmental adaptation…

The global agri-food system plays a critical role in food security and environmental issues.

It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

The chemical and structural heterogeneity of toxoid vaccines makes their analysis challenging. However, detailed insights on a molecular level can be obtained by mass spectrometry.

Climate change is a challenge for both current and future generations. New biological resources have to be developed in order to meet the demand for energy as well as the demand for food.

We investigate the buildup of galaxies from various vantage points. The first two chapters focus on the stellar content of galaxies, especially the distribution of stellar masses at birth and potential variations therein in various galactic environments.

Developing robust algorithms and theory for establishing cause-effect relationships from observational data that scale up to large data sets

In order to gain a better insight into the basis of the rapid jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated stress response, an integrated approach using a targeted high-resolution mass spectrometry-based (HRMS) platform, was conducted to monitor the metabolism of JA using the model system of cell suspension cultures…

Nature, nurture and neural mechanisms of social emotion regulation in childhood

In this thesis, I targeted the orchid genus Lepanthes, one of the six genera of angiosperms that surpasses 1,000 species in the Neotropics, as a study model to investigate the evolutionary processes that promoted species diversifications.

Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

Latent variable modeling of students' solution strategies and performance

In this thesis, a system pharmacology approach, integrating metabolomics, pharmacology and chemical biology, was applied to understand and modulate the endocannabinoid system across different model systems (cells, zebrafish, mice and humans).

There is an urgent need for more physiologically relevant cell culture methods to guide compound selection in pre-clinical stages of the drug development pipeline.

The aim of this thesis is to expedite and ensure the systematic accuracy of clearance scaling from adults to paediatric patients, with a special focus on drugs undergoing hepatic metabolism.

This thesis is dedicated to the exploration of the primordial dark ages: unknown physics during the earliest stages of the Universe’s expansion that have not yet been directly probed by observations. Cosmic inflation is a burst of exponential expansion of space after the “Big Bang”.

Onderzoek naar representatieve bureaucratie heeft vaak de positieve prestatie-effecten bevestigd van bureaucratieën die de demografische kenmerken van hun cliënten weerspiegelen. Er is echter weinig bekend over de onderliggende mechanismen op individueel niveau die tot deze resultaten leiden.

Op 16 december 2019 verdedigde Jan-Harm de Villiers zijn proefschrift 'The Anthropomorphic Hegemony of Subjectivity: Critical Reflections on Law and the Question of the Animal'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof.dr. P. Cliteur.
