Op vrijdag 24 maart gaf prof: Amanda Perry-Kessaris (Kent Law School) een korte workshop over data visualisation voor de promovendi van de afdeling Economie. Tijdens deze workshop werden de promovendi uitgedaagd om door middel van LEGO hun onderzoek te visualiseren. Amanda Perry-Kessaris gaf daarna…

In het kader van ILS 2.0 zijn er restgelden beschikbaar voor het indienen van subsidievoorstellen en - direct daaraan gekoppeld en inherent daaraan - het ontwikkelen van nieuwe onderzoekslijnen. Per aanvraag geldt een maximumbudget van 40.000 euro. In totaal is 180.000 euro beschikbaar voor deze cal…

Mechanical interactions between cells and their environment play an important role in many biological processes.

The work described in this dissertation contributes to a better mechanistic understanding of nanoparticles in vivo. To achieve that goal, we used the zebrafish as a highly predictive pre-screening model of nanoparticles.

Lysosomal acid glucosylceramidase (GBA1) is a lysosomal enzyme that degrades glucolipids with its main substrate being glucosylceramide (GlcCer). Defects in the GBA1 gene lead to glycosphingolipidosis Gaucher disease (GD), in which the hydrolysis of GlcCer is impaired and therefore, it accumulates in…

The energy system is at the heart of two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: decreasing CO2 emissions to meet the ambitions of the Paris agreement while fulfilling the growing energy demand associated with the economic aspirations of a growing world population.

Afgelopen weekend heeft Italië aan Nederland verzocht twee schepen terug te roepen die onder de Nederlandse vlag varen voor de Libische kust.

Tijdens de ILS Lunch Seminars kunnen alle onderzoekers van de faculteit hun onderzoek presenteren. Het doel is om op een toegankelijke en efficiënte manier op de hoogte zijn van onderzoeken van verschillende onderzoeksprogramma's en instituten. Gedurende een seminar van een uur zullen twee of drie sprekers…

ILS organizes a new lunch seminar series where all researchers from Leiden Law School can present their research. The idea is to hear in a simple and nice way what researchers from other research programs and institutes are working on. During a seminar two or three speakers will present their research.…

Marcellus Ubbink, hoogleraar Eiwitchemie, heeft een ECHO-subsidie van NWO ter waarde van 260 duizend euro in de wacht gesleept. Met het geld gaat hij onderzoek doen naar enzymremmers.

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria that have a complex multicellular life cycle and are well known for their ability to produce a wide range of bioactive natural products (NPs).

Op vrijdag 24 maart aanstaande zal Prof. Amanda Perry–Kessaris (Kent Law School) de maandelijkse Leiden Socio-Legal Lecture verzorgen.

Dit academisch jaar zal de Leiden Socio-Legal Series (LSLS) van start gaan! In deze reeks van 10 lezingen zal maandelijks een jurist(e) aan de hand van zijn of haar eigen onderzoek aangeven op welke wijze het rechtssociologisch perspectief – in theoretische en/of methodologische zin – daarbij een rol…

‘Wat ik aantrekkelijk vind aan het bodemleven, is dat het stuurbaar is,’ verklapt onderzoeker Martijn Bezemer van het Instituut Biologie Leiden (IBL). ‘Dat je kan zeggen: wat wil je? En dat ik de bodem dan kan omtoveren tot iets wat jij nodig hebt. Ten minste, dat dachten we.’
