Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

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…

Antibiotic resistance, caused by widespread use of antibiotics, leads to bacterial infections that are difficult, if not impossible, to treat and is a major worldwide health concern.

The focus of the described research in this thesis is on the oxidative stress response (Nrf2 pathway). The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to obtain more information concerning microRNAs which are involved in the Nrf2 pathway, to determine and evaluate the application of microRNAs for…

In this thesis integral points on affine del Pezzo surfaces are studied.

Biological cells, the basic building blocks of all life forms, are surrounded by a lipid membrane. More than half of the membrane is occupied by membrane proteins, which can regulate the cell functionality through specific arrangements.

The studies presented in the work show the potential of the integrative use of biophysical data in defining the structural basis of protein interactions.

Empirical Legal Studies in Leiden focuste op het bouwen van een interdisciplinaire gemeenschap van rechtsgeleerden en sociale wetenschappers die samen juridische vraagstukken onderzochten op het snijpunt van recht en gedrag, waarbij diverse soorten methoden werden gebruikt.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease resulting in the formation of an arterial plaque. Despite lipid lowering, recurrent cardiovascular events remain a risk. While atherosclerosis is primarily lipid-driven, the immune system plays a critical role in the pathophysiology.

The growing demand of energy indicates that global energy resources in the form of fossil fuels will not be sufficient in the future. In order to solve potential future energy problems development of a sustainable hydrogen economy is highly desirable.

De Correctional Research Award 2017 van de ‘International Corrections and Prisons Association’ (ICPA) is dit jaar toegekend aan het Prison Project – en aan Anja Dirkzwager (NSCR) en Paul Nieuwbeerta (Universiteit Leiden) voor het opzetten en leiden van dit grootschalig en langlopend onderzoek naar de…

From surface science towards industrial practice using high-pressure scanning tunneling microscopy.

This thesis aims to demonstrate how the achromatic nature and design flexibility of liquid-crystal optics can be used to improve high-contrast imaging instruments to facilitate detailed exoplanet characterization.

Climate change is a challenge for both current and future generations. New biological resources have to be developed in order to meet the demand for energy as well as the demand for food.

De afdeling Bedrijfswetenschappen houdt zich bezig met vraagstukken op het gebied van ondernemerschap, organisatiepsychologie en insolventie. Op de afdeling werken docenten en onderzoekers uit verschillende disciplines, zoals marketing, economie, finance, strategie en de gedragswetenschappen.

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.

De masteropleiding International Organisation wordt aangeboden door de Universiteit Leiden in Den Haag. Op deze pagina wordt uitgelegd waarom studenten voor deze opleiding en locatie kiezen.

The ultimate aim of this project (initiated by the European Law Institute) is to design a framework that will enable the further development of coherent and functional rules for business rescue in Europe.

The thesis is part of a bigger project, the HEPGAME (High Energy Physics Game). The main objective for HEPGAME is the utilization of AI solutions, particularly by using MCTS for simplification of HEP calculations.
