In this thesis, a system pharmacology approach, integrating metabolomics, pharmacology and chemical biology, was applied to understand and modulate the endocannabinoid system across different model systems (cells, zebrafish, mice and humans).

An important part of the SCS specialisation is the internship period. Students will get the opportunity to get to know the field and to apply what they have learned during the courses.

Studying the impact of urbanisation on the respiratory health of past Dutch populations (1200-1850 CE).

This thesis focuses on the study of transient and variable radio sources in the universe.

De voorgestelde beleidsmaatregelen zijn het resultaat van een interactief proces tussen medewerkers, studenten, de D&I adviesgroepen, externe experts en het Expertisebureau D&I.

We show that Kirchhoff ’s law of conservation holds for non-commutative graph flows if and only if the graph is planar. We generalize the theory of (Euclidean) lattices to infinite dimension and consider the ring of algebraic integers as such a lattice.

We describe certain birational modifications of nodal relative curves over a regular base of arbitrary dimension.

Met het onderzoek ‘Baby’s eerste hapjes’ willen wij meer te weten komen over de overgang naar vast voedsel bij baby’s. Zo zijn we benieuwd hoe de overgang naar vast voedsel bij kinderen verloopt, hoe het eetpatroon van kinderen zich na de overgang verder ontwikkelt en hoe ouders deze overgang en het…

Migration imposes special pressures on the meaning, experience and organization of lifecycle rituals. These pressures are felt most strongly by Muslim migrants to Western Europe. In this innovative study, Nathal M. Dessing examines the effects of migration on the life cycle rituals of Moroccan, Turkish…

This thesis consists of three chapters. Each chapter is on a different subject. However, all three chapters address issues that arise in counting arithmetically interesting objects.

Multicellular giant algae Chara species have been widely used in physiological studies for decades.

In this thesis, I study 1) metabolic alterations in tuberculosis related to wasting syndrome in human patients as well as in rodent and fish animal models. 2) effects of the mutation of the leptin gene on cachexia and diabetes in rodent and zebrafish animal models.

Neuraminidases are enzymes that cleave glycosidic linkages of sialic acid. These enzymes are involved in influenza infections as well as in many cellular processes in mammals and micro-organisms.
