Stochastic resetting is simple enough to be approached analytically, yet modifies stochastic processes in a non-trivial way.

Death in all types of melanomas is generally caused by metastasis. Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular melanoma, there are currently no (patient-derived) animal models that faithfully recapitulate metastatic dissemination of UM.

A large diversity of exoplanetary systems has been found, but it is still unclear what drives this diversity.

Many galaxy clusters exhibit bright diffuse radio emission that traces the underlying structure of the intracluster medium (ICM).

Streptomyces are multicellular, Gram-positive bacteria in the phylum of actinobacteria which produce a high amount of bioactive natural products of which the expression is tightly coordinated with the life cycle.

In this thesis, we present new laboratory data of interstellar dust analogues.

In this thesis, I focused on studying the above- and belowground interactions of J. vulgaris from a plant-soil feedback (hereafter, PSF) perspective. I investigated the temporal variation of negative PSF and examined the effects of root-associated bacteria on plant performance and aboveground herbiv…

Understanding the formation and evolution of planetary systems is one of the most fundamental challenges in astronomy. To directly image and study young exoplanets and the circumstellar disks they form from, dedicated high-contrast imaging instruments are built.

β-Lactamases are enzymes that can break down β-lactam substrates, such as antibiotics, preventing the use of these antibiotics for the treatment of various infectious diseases. However, some compounds, β-lactamase inhibitors, can block these enzymes allowing for possible treatments using a combination…

It has now been well established that shocks and turbulent motions in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) generated through cluster mergers can produce large-scale synchrotron emission.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of mortality. Endothelial dysfunction, an early reversible stage of CVD development, is marked by decreased nitric oxide production linked to Ca2+ influx in endothelial cells.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer characterized by limited treatment options and unfavorable clinical outcomes. Therefore, the research described in this thesis focused on the exploration of novel targeted therapies for TNBC.

Onderzoeksdirecteur Judy Veldhuijzen, deze maand begonnen in haar nieuwe rol, beantwoordt vragen van collega’s. Wat is haar visie voor het instituut? Hoe kijkt ze aan tegen open leiderschap? En: hoe gezond leeft de GMN-onderzoeker zelf eigenlijk?

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to visualize the inside of cells and to study specific protein complexes. Within this thesis, I describe the use of various cryo-EM techniques to gain insight into the structural changes of the human pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, as it…

AI wordt veel gebruikt in HR-processen, maar we weten nog weinig over de bijdrage van deze applicaties aan eerlijke en inclusieve beslissingen. Leids onderzoeker Carlotta Rigotti is betrokken bij BIAS, een groot consortiumonderzoeksproject om de rol van AI te verduidelijken én een nieuwe app voor HR-professionals…

The clinical potential of applying synthetic lethality to cancer treatment is famously demonstrated by the BRCA1/PARP1 paradigm: a tumor specific defect in BRCA1 – a component of the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway homologous recombination (HR) – results in a remarkable sensitivity to PARP1…

This thesis investigates opinion dynamics on random graphs through the lens of the voter model, a classical interacting particle system used to describe how consensus emerges in networks.

This thesis investigates how quantum, quantum-inspired, and hybrid quantum-classical computation can enhance key points of the automated machine learning (AutoML) pipeline under the constraints of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices.

In this thesis, we use low-frequency and high-frequency radio observations to address the following questions regarding quasars: is the radio loud/quiet quasar dichotomy real?

De Una Europa Clusters brengen vooraanstaande deskundigen en ervaren personeelsleden van de talrijke academische en professionele diensten van de Una Europa -partners samen.

This thesis takes steps toward understanding the interaction between gas-phase and solid-state molecules in star- and planet-forming regions.

Onze medewerkers en studenten maken deel uit van de taskforces van Una Europa. Deze taskforces vertalen de kernthema’s van Una Europa naar concrete acties.

Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) are essential for modern healthcare delivery, yet their development faces significant challenges including heterogeneous data formats, regulatory compliance, and the growing demand for AI-driven decision support.

Drie onderzoekers van de Faculteit der Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen ontvangen een TOP-subsidie Exacte Wetenschappen. Dat maakte NWO op 22 november bekend.
