Taking as a point of departure the Italian American community in Boston and its process of collective remembrance surrounding Saint Anthony’s Feast, we addressing the limits and potential of montage.

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…

Op 10 tot en met 12 mei heeft een aantal studenten van Honours College Law deelgenomen aan een driedaags seminar over het thema ‘terrorisme en strafrecht’ georganiseerd door de Leidse afdeling Straf- en strafprocesrecht in samenwerking met de Universiteit van Zürich.

LERU, de League of European Research Universities, vierde op 7 maart haar vijftiende verjaardag in Brussel. Het netwerk van Europese topuniversiteiten is inmiddels uitgegroeid tot 23 universiteiten.

Hoogleraar Kurt Deketelaere (KU Leuven en LERU) ontvangt de eerste Scaligerpenning. U kunt aanwezig zijn bij de uitreiking op 19 september.

De intentie van Plan S, het streven naar open access in de wetenschap, is absoluut goed. Dat stelt de League of European Research Universities (LERU) waar ook de Universiteit Leiden bij is aangesloten. Maar het voorgestelde implementatieplan levert teveel moeilijkheden op voor onderzoekers en instituten.…

Wat zijn de kenmerken van het onderwijs op onderzoeksuniversiteiten, en hoe wordt excellentie gedefinieerd en gestimuleerd? Die vragen staan centraal in de nieuwste position paper van LERU, het samenwerkingsverband van Europese onderzoeksuniversiteiten waaronder de Universiteit Leiden.

Van onderwijs tot een verrijkende ervaring

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

Whilst government’s ability to design ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy is generally assumed to depend on the region’s decision-making power, the aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters. In order to open up the black box of policy design, the study develops a…

In his dissertation Michiel Hooykaas outlines the results of six empirical research projects focused at biodiversity awareness in the Netherlands, specifically people’s knowledge about animals.

The main focus of the thesis is the discovery and development of novel inhibitors of bacterial metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs).

With the energy transition toward a renewable energy supply and a CO2-neutral economy, electrification of the energy system is rising in importance, which leads to the challenge of long-term storage of renewable electricity.

The ongoing increase in antimicrobial resistance combined with the low discovery of novel antibiotics is a serious threat to our health care.

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

The goal of the project is the development of stream mining techniques for complex patterns such as graphs. We will try to extend the existing state-of-the-art techniques into two, orthogonal directions: on the one hand, the mining of more complex patterns in streams, such as sequential patterns and…

Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities.

Breeding for resistance becomes more and more important because we want to reduce the use of pesticides. A fast and cheap alternative can be to make use of morphological or chemical markers.

In this thesis, mathematical modeling and simulation was applied as a tool to inform quantitative decision making in oncology drug discovery and development.

Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 and since then the population has grown and expanded over several wavelengths.

Plants produce an astonishing variety of secondary metabolites (SMs) which are thought to play vital roles in the fitness of plants through ecological interactions.

The PID-directed shift in PIN polarity has been broadly accepted as one of the essential mechanisms for the regulation of auxin transport polarity.

The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in the growth and development of plants. Auxin acts in a concentration dependent manner and polar cell-to-cell transport of this hormone determines its distribution in the tissues of plants. This polar auxin transport is mediated by several families of auxin…

Natural vanilla flavor is one of the most important in the world. However, the cost of this flavor is expensive. Production of this flavor by alternative methods, could reduce the cost.

An important part of the SCS specialisation is the internship period. Students will get the opportunity to get to know the field and to apply what they have learned during the courses.

This thesis systematically studies the physicochemical properties of non-planar, propeller-shaped, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The synthesis of several so-called propellerenes is described on a gram scale, using optimized procedures aimed at using less hazardous reagents and reducing the amount…
