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.

Regeneration is the ability of an organism to restore damaged or lost tissue with a functional replacement, and without scarring. Many lizards can regenerate their tails.

For optimization problems, it is often unclear how to choose the most appropriate optimization algorithm. As such, rigorous benchmarking practices are critical to ensure we can gain as much insight into the strengths and weaknesses of these types of algorithms.

This thesis describes the development and optimization of the first molecular tools to study the enzyme PLA2G4E.

Carbon dioxide capture and utilization technologies are necessary to create a truly circular economy. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to formate is an appealing carbon utilization method as it can be performed at room temperature and pressure, it only requires two electrons, and it has…

This thesis describes the design, characterization and application of dextran based crosslinked network.

The research of the Applied Mathematics cluster is concerned with such diverse topics as dynamical systems, representation theory, differential equations and pattern recognition.

Carbohydrates, alongside proteins and nucleic acids, constitute a crucial and versatile family of biomolecules present in all life forms. They manifest as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides, covalently bonded to proteins and fats. Carbohydrates are integral to plant and arthropod…

This thesis describes the role of pollution, specifically neonicotinoid insecticides, as an actor of the ongoing biodiversity decline.

Onlangs is er een KIEM-beurs ​​toegekend aan een diverse groep Leidse onderzoekers, met als doel om in 2026 een interdisciplinaire conferentie te organiseren getiteld ‘Ancient Religions and the Materiality of Danger’. Het onderwerp van de conferentie markeert een verschuiving naar het bestuderen van…

Als je heel goed bent in het ene, gaat dat soms ten koste van iets anders. Zo’n wisselwerking gaat ook op voor bacteriën. Wanneer bacteriën resistenter worden voor het ene antibioticum, worden ze soms gevoeliger voor een ander. Linda Aulin, promovendus in de farmacologiegroep van Coen van Hasselt, probeert…

De Leidse wetenschappers Arjen Doelman, Tom Huizinga en Manfred Wuhrer hebben een ERC Synergy Grant gekregen van miljoenen euro’s. Het gaat om onderzoeken om te voorkomen dat kantelpunten in ecosystemen worden bereikt en om reuma de wereld uit te helpen.

Binnen het wetenschapsterrein Geesteswetenschappen heeft NWO aan twaalf onderzoeksteams financiering toegekend vanuit de Vrije competitie geesteswetenschappen. Onder de toekenningen bevinden zich onderzoeksprogramma's van een aantal Leidse academici.

Het ministerie van Veiligheid en Justitie heeft in haar magazine Nationale Veiligheid en Crisisbeheersing uitgebreid aandacht besteed aan de ISGA conferentie 'Who determines the security (research) agenda?'.
