Wereldwijd zijn er ruim 7000 talen; meer dan de helft van de wereldbevolking is meertalig. Maar hoe gebruiken al die mensen hun taal? En op welke vlakken verschillende deze taken van elkaar? Onder het motto ‘Interconnecting linguistic diversity’ zijn de onderzoekers van het Leiden University Centre…

There is a need for alternative methods to replace, reduce and refine (3R) animal experimentation. Combining experimental data from high-throughput in vitro studies with in silico modeling is a promising approach to unravel the effect of chemicals on living cells and to gain a better understanding of…

The Minor Computational Approaches to Disease, Signaling and Drug Targets (CADSDT) is focused on fundamental scientific research required for discovery of new drug targets and development of new drugs.

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.

There is no human society that does not employ a rich and diverse language. This course introduces you to linguistics, featuring interviews with well-known linguists and with speakers of many different languages. Join us to explore the miracles of human language!

The long-held desire - to link structure directly to function and to explain molecular mechanisms based on basic chemical or physical principles - is finally coming closer, satisfying not only our scientific curiosity but also offering new solutions to the many challenges in the field of health, energy…

Most of current public-key cryptography is considered insecure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography studies methods to secure information resistant against such attacks. One proposal is isogeny-based cryptography, which bases its security on computational…

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…

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

In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

Nature uses a special class of histone proteins, histone variants, to modulate the properties of chromatin at defined genomic locations.

In this thesis it is posed that the central object of preference discovery is a co-creative process in which the Other can be represented by a machine. It explores efficient methods to enhance introverted intuition using extraverted intuition's communication lines.

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…

At the moment, over 350.000 chemicals are registered worldwide for production and use. Their application, however, may harm human health and the environment.

Met haar project WetSuite wil Meuwese AI-technieken die gebruikt kunnen worden om juridische overheidsdocumenten te analyseren toegankelijk maken voor een brede groep onderzoekers.

Aan de Universiteit Leiden werken wetenschappers uit alle disciplines samen om antwoorden te vinden en om te innoveren op het gebied van kunstmatige intelligentie.

In Sofia Express gaat Jan Paul Hinrichs op zoek naar de literaire geheimen van de Bulgaarse hoofdstad Sofia, een stad waarin detectives, spionage en andere intriges nooit ver weg zijn.

The deeper understanding of an organism's pathology is important for developing treatments. Over centuries of systematic research, clinical researchers have demonstrated that the more information they acquire about the cellular properties and their organisation in the tissue, the better they can understand…

We study the interplay of topology and geometry with chirality for several passive and active systems, employing both analytical and numerical methods.
