Elektrische busjes rijden zaterdag af en aan. Ze brengen aankomende studenten naar de faculteiten van de Universiteit Leiden. Daar kunnen ze tijdens de Bachelor Open Dag zelf zien of de studie die hen zo leuk lijkt, ook echt bij ze past.

Een nieuw internationaal, open-access tijdschrift op het terrein van politieke wetenschappen en bestuurskunde gaat van start: Research and Politics (R&P). Bernard Steunenberg, hoogleraar binnen het Instituut Bestuurskunde van Faculteit Campus Den Haag, is mede-initiatiefnemer en editor van dit blad.

Structural variants (SVs) are the hidden architecture of the human genome, and are critical for us to understand diseases, evolution, and so on.

In this book liposomes are explored as delivery system for allergen-specific immunotherapy. Both cationic and anionic formulations are prepared with Bet v 1, one of the allergens in birch pollen.

A Josephson junction is a device where a thin insulating barrier or a nanostructure is placed between two superconducting leads. Such a junction is essential to superconducting qubits that store quantum information due to its anharmonic spectrum.

uman skin equivalents (HSEs) are in vitro 3D-skin models that mimic many aspects of the native human skin (NHS) and can be a valuable tool.

Moritz Jesse has been awarded a Jean Monnet Chair by the European Commission. In his MIND-EU Project he will focus on a coherent way to teach Migration, Integration, and Non-Discrimination at Leiden Law School at bachelor and master level.

A revolutionary supercomputer with energy-efficient parts that are available in the shops. Professor of Computational Astrophysics Simon Portegies Zwart has been awarded an NWO Medium Grant to build this processing giant, which will have the power of a supercomputer but requires only one percent of…

Voor het bachelor keuzevak Oral History gingen studenten op zoek naar ‘vertellers’ die in de jaren vijftig, zestig of zeventig naar Nederland kwamen en bij de oprichting of het bestuur van een migrantenorganisatie betrokken waren. Hoe waren hun contacten met de Nederlandse overheid, wat voor taak zagen…

The Leiden Institute of Advance Computer Science (LIACS) in collaboration with the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) have developed the minor Cyber Security Governance Essentials to provide students with a mixture of technical and governance knowledge to set them on a path towards understanding…

This thesis focuses on the application of lipid-based nanomedicine in drug delivery, including small molecular antitumor drugs and biomacromolecules including mRNA, and evaluates their biological performance.

Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of death in the world with atherosclerosis as primary underlying cause.

The thesis addresses the long-term dynamical evolution of hierarchical multiple systems.

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of orphan diseases characterized by lysosomal dysfunction or impaired lysosomal catabolism and affect collectively about 1 in 5000 live births.

The intradermal administration route is attractive for vaccine delivery, because of the highly populated antigen-presenting cells in the skin. However, the skin’s main physical barrier, the stratum corneum, prevents vaccines from entering the skin.

Artificial intelligence algorithms govern in subtle, yet fundamental ways, the way we live and are transforming our societies. The promise of efficient, low‐cost or ‘neutral’ solutions harnessing the potential of big data has led public bodies to adopt algorithmic systems in the provision of public…

In de wetenschap is het van vitaal belang dat meerdere studies hetzelfde resultaat onderschrijven. Onderzoekers moeten daarom alle details van eerdere experimenten kennen om de procedures zo exact mogelijk uit te kunnen voeren. Dit is echter een steeds groter probleem in de neurowetenschappen. Het is…

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.…

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

This thesis is is made of three parts. The first part describes a generalization of the Chabauty's method, that can be used to determine the rational points of a curve such that s+g>r+1, where g is the genusof the curve, r is the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of the jacobian of the curve and s is…

This thesis describes how complex and real-world relevant analytical solutions can be found starting from a simple Nagumo problem posed on one or two-dimensional lattices.

In this thesis we use Josephson and noise scanning tunneling microscopy for the study of conventional, unconventional (iron-based) and disordered superconductors. On the one hand, Josephson scanning tunneling microscopy allows us to directly visualize the superfluid density with high spatial resolut…

This dissertation aims to advance understanding of amoeboid single cell migration under the influence of changing physicochemical environmental properties. The particular focus is on the relatively unknown influence of differing physical properties in the extracellular environment, such as the migratory…

During the course of drug discovery translational steps are made.

The aim of this thesis is to develop and study a robust and adaptable scaffold for supramolecular polymer self-assembly in water.

In this work the reconstruction of a tau neutrino signal in the KM3NeT detector is discussed.

This thesis covers various applications of topology in condensed matter physics and quantum information.

Metabolomics is a powerful tool that can provide a comprehensive insight into the complexity of human biology and the pathophysiology of diseases. By analyzing the metabolome, which refers to the complete set of small (endogenous) molecules (with a mass <1500 Da) present within a given biological system,…

Quantum computers are a proposed fundamentally new type of computer. They aim to perform some computations much faster than previously possible by exploiting phenomena at the quantum scale, called superposition and entanglement.
