This thesis examines the link between simple molecules and the underlying structure and chemistry within protoplanetary disks - the birthplaces of planets.

For each living organism health is ensured by correct functioning of its cells. Cells therefore have elaborate methods for regulation of their proteins.

The recently introduced nature-originated deep eutectic solvents, so-called natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are considered as truly green solvents, which composed of natural ingredients found abundantly in organisms.

My work focuses on a class of astronomical objects called protoplanetary disks.

Mensen die de afgelopen drie maanden antibiotica hebben gebruikt, letten meer op negatieve gezichtsuitdrukkingen, blijkt uit onderzoek van postdoc Katerina Johnson en universitair docent Laura Steenbergen. Dit kan mogelijk verklaren hoe antibiotica het risico op het ontwikkelen van depressie vergroo…

Until the 1990s, the only known planets were those in our Solar System. Three decades later, several thousand exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars other than the Sun, and substantial efforts have been made to explore these strange new worlds through spectroscopic analyses of their atmosphe…

In most applications, electrocatalysts exhibit a large surface area to volume ratio, for example using nanoparticles.

This thesis systematically analyzes the physical-chemistry of lipid-graphene interactions with the major objective of reconciliating the variety of results reported in the literature.

This thesis applies data mining in commercial settings in the telecommunications industry.

This thesis seeks to combine two different research topics; Multi-Objective Optimization and Complex Network Analysis.

Doordat markten in toenemende mate zijn geïnternationaliseerd, zijn (sub-)nationale toezichthouders ook steeds vaker internationaal actief. Binnen vormen van internationale netwerksamenwerking wisselen deze toezichthouders onderling informatie uit en onderhandelen ze over internationale standaarden…

Immunotherapies for cancer are an emerging class of therapeutic strategies which aim to treat cancer via augmentation of the immune system.

Despite being the object of intense study, embryonic development has been difficult to model due to a number of reasons. First, complex tissues can be comprised of many cell types, of which we probably only know a subset.

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…

An Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is a highly luminous region at the center of a galaxy, powered by the accretion into a supermassive black hole and emitting energy from radio waves to gamma rays, often outshining the host galaxy.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

The type-IV secretion system (T4SS) is a machinery able to transfer DNA and proteins between bacteria and in certain cases also to eukaryotic cells.

Alles met betrekking tot politiek, bestuur en communicatie valt samen in dit domein. Als cursist voor de bekende Public Affairs basis- en verdiepingsleergang wordt de verbinding tussen de politieke en maatschappelijke omgeving gelegd en krijg je inzicht in politieke en bestuurlijke processen. Daarnaast…

Het onderzoek binnen deze pijler richt zich op de systeemrisico's waarmee Europese samenlevingen worden geconfronteerd en die de kwaliteit van leven van Europese burgers beïnvloeden.

Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…

In the current global context, there is a pressing need to address sustainable energy supplies to safeguard our Planet and its ecosystems. The choices made by human society have a significant impact on genetic evolution and climate.

In dit interdisciplinaire onderzoeksprogramma werken onderzoekers uit vijf verschillende disciplines met elkaar samen. Zij stellen zich hieronder (in het Engels) aan u voor.

Studenten- en Onderwijszaken

De bachelor Biologie houdt zich bezig met de levende natuur. Zo bestudeer je het leven op cellulair- en moleculair niveau en verdiep je onder andere in de diversiteit van planten en dieren.

Bestuursbureau

De studie Bio-Farmaceutische Wetenschappen richt zich specifiek op geneesmiddelenontwikkeling. Je bestudeert de (bij)werking van geneesmiddelen en kijkt naar de mechanismen van ziektes.
