Leraar maatschappijleer worden? Haal je eerstegraads onderwijsbevoegdheid via de lerarenopleiding van de Universiteit Leiden en word docent in het voortgezet onderwijs.

Hoe kun je leerlingen en studenten leren grip te krijgen op complexe ‘moerassituaties’? Oratie uitgesproken door prof.dr.ir. Fred Janssen bij de aanvaarding van het ambt van hoogleraar in de Didactiek van de Natuurwetenschappen aan de Universiteit Leiden op 19 juni 2017.

Promovendus Ludwig Hoffmann gaat dankzij een Rubiconbeurs die hij op 11 april won twee jaar naar Harvard University in de VS. Met behulp van theoretische modellen bestudeert hij biologische materialen, bijvoorbeeld tijdens de morfogenese. Dit is het proces waardoor weefsels of organismen hun vorm ontwikkelen.…

De maand november stond in 2019 in het teken van open onderwijs. Docenten en medewerkers konden in die maand colleges bijwonen en good en new practices zien. Ter afsluiting kregen docenten feedback op hun colleges van een collega-expert of peer.

Veel vraagstukken van onze tijd zijn te complex om vanuit één wetenschapsgebied op te kunnen lossen. De Universiteit Leiden is een brede universiteit waar ongelofelijk veel onderzoeksvelden samenkomen. Daarom zijn we bij uitstek geschikt als broedplaats en beoefenaar van interdisciplinair onderzoek…

De programmagroep Leer- en Gedragsproblemen in het Onderwijs is gevestigd in de Faculteit der Sociale Wetenschappen van de Universiteit Leiden achter Centraal Station in Leiden.

De universiteit streeft ernaar dat alle studenten in hun opleiding kennismaken met duurzaamheidsthema’s en -vraagstukken, die zoveel mogelijk aansluiten bij de inhoud van hun opleiding.

Universiteit Leiden biedt bachelor studenten kansen om hun keuzeruimte in te vullen. En daarmee de opleiding te verbreden of te verdiepen.

Indigenous Latin American artifacts have attracted the interest of Europeans since the earliest moment of contact between Europeans and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The ERC-funded BECACO project uses an innovative multidisciplinary framework to investigate the provenance of ethnographic and…

Humans can see the world through the eyes of other humans and imagine what they know, want, and intend. This competence is known as Theory of Mind.

This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems.

Hospital pharmacies face significant challenges: the demand for sterile drug reconstitutions is increasing, while specialized personnel remain scarce. Automation offers a potential solution, but its practical implementation in hospitals is still unclear.

The zebrafish is a promising vertebrate model organism in early drug discovery and development.

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.

Clinical development of drugs for central nervous system (CNS) disorders has been particularly challenging and still suffers from high attrition rates.

The book ‘Bestrijdingsmiddelen en Milieu' gives a transparent overview of facts and figures concerning pesticide use in the Netherlands and the impact of pesticides on the environment.

This thesis explores the theoretical and observational properties of distant massive galaxies that harbour active black holes in their centres and shine brightly at radio wavelengths.

As leading cause of death worldwide, cancer is responsible for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 according to World Health Organization (WHO). Cisplatin and its derivatives are commonly used chemotherapy agents for current cancer treatment in the clinics.

Mechanical forces are known to play an important role in bacterial colonies. In this dissertation, we study the self-organization at various stages of growing bacterial colonies, and focus on the mechanical effects of cell growth.

Growth hormone profiles are pulsatile and highly variable between individuals, limiting the implementation of mathemathical models to quantify an individual's secretion.

Polymyxins are clinically used antibiotics, discovered in mid-20th century. Once abandoned due to excessive nephrotoxicity, they are now used increasingly to address infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria.In this thesis, we describe the development and synthesis of analogues…

The investigations described in this thesis lay out strategies aimed at advancing antibiotic research and development. The examples presented revolve around two main approaches: understanding drug-target interactions and target identification.

Enzymes are innately sensitive to changes in the amino acid sequence, which largely constrains their evolutionary potential, i.e., evolvability. This evolutionary burden can be alleviated in the presence of stabilizing mutations, which increase the buffering capacity of enzymes to tolerate mutations…

Phospholipase A/acyltransferase 3 (PLAAT3) and PLAAT4 are enzymes involved in the synthesis of bioactive lipids. Despite sequential and structural similarities, the two enzymes differ in activity and specificity.

The lysosomal β-glucosidase named glucocerebrosidase (GCase) is a retaining β-glucosidase that hydrolyzes the glycosphingolipid glucosylceramide (GlcCer) to ceramide and glucose at acid pH.

This thesis describes the design and synthesis of fragments of various cell wall carbohydrates of the Streptococcus species, including the branched Group B-specific antigen (GBC) of Group B Streptococcus, glycerol phosphate (GroP) modified group A carbohydrate (GAC), and the O-acetylated type 1 capsular…
