In de botanische tuin werkt de onderzoeksgroep ‘Living Botany’ aan (planten)biodiversiteit en de relatie tussen planten en mensen.

Dit project onderzoekt het religieuze leven van een Surinaamse Hindoegemeenschap die in Amsterdam praktiseert in de Sri Radha Krishna Mandir vanuit een interdisciplinair perspectief.

Wereldwijd hebben miljoenen kinderen te maken met ziektes die relatief makkelijk te voorkomen zijn. Sarah Spronk onderzocht de vraag welke prioriteiten voortvloeien uit het recht op gezondheid van kinderen om vervolgens kindgerichte gezondheidszorg te kunnen vormgeven.

We analyse the link between media consumption and the attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS in Chile. We used data from a sample of 1000 people, obtained in the 2011 wave of the World Values Survey (WVS). We use a logistic binary regression model by maximum likelihood. Our results suggest that…

In de maand juni is door studenten van de opleiding Kunstgeschiedenis een aantal activiteiten georganiseerd onder de titel Living Couture, or: How I learned to stop worrying and love bio-technology.

In Europa gaat 10% van de kinderen een bezoek krijgen van een natuurkundeshow tijdens hun schoolopleiding. Dat zegt de stichting Rino, de Leidse initiatiefnemer en organisator van de natuurkundige roadshows. Rino werkt samen in EuroPhysicsFun (EPF), het Europese netwerk voor natuurkundeshows.

Principles of Environmental Sciences provides a comprehensive picture of the principles, concepts and methods that are applicable to problems originating from the interaction between the living and non-living environment and mankind. Both the analysis of such problems and the way solutions to environmental…

Membrane fusion is a vital process in living organisms and is mediated by zipper-like proteins.

Although nanoparticles are extensively used in various applications like consumer products and have most probably entered the environment, little is known about the effects of these particles on living organisms.

In this thesis, the focus lies on studying glucocorticoid receptor dynamics in living cells with the aim of understanding how this transcription factor finds its DNA target sites to regulate transcription.

The lipid membrane is a basic structural component of all living cells. Embedded in this nanometer-thin barrier, membrane proteins shape the membrane and at the same time respond to the shape of the membrane.

The genetic information of all living organisms is contained in their DNA. Cells modify the degree of DNA compaction by epigenetics, which largely determines what genes are read out and which genes are transcriptionally silent.

For centuries astronomers studied the Universe by collecting light. Nowadays, we are living in times of great technological advancements, which allow us to explore our Universe in a new way - though gravitational wave radiation.

Self-assembly is an abundant process in nature and is vital to many processes in living organisms.

Large carnivores and humans, along with their livestock, have co-existed for thousands of years. However, human population growth and an increase in economic activities are modifying the landscape for large carnivores and their prey.

Due to their central physiological roles in living organisms, retaining beta-glycosidases have been the subject of tremendous research efforts to examine their structure/function relation using numerous biophysical and biochemical approaches.

This thesis presents the first synthetic peptides ADP-ribosylated on serine, threonine, tyrosine, arginine and cysteine.

Single-Molecule Microscopy (SMM) techniques constitute a group of powerful imaging tools that enable researchers to study the dynamic behavior of individual molecules.

Gold nanorods are biocompatible nanoparticles that present an excellent two-photon signal that can be used to get high spatial resolution inside living cells. Gold nanorods are photostable and therefore can be followed inside cells for long time, with possible applications as trackers in live cells.
