Het primaire doel van de leerstoel is het uitvoeren en bevorderen van wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar de rol van het militaire instrument in hedendaagse conflicten en het verhogen van de kennis daarover in de Nederlandse maatschappij.

Researchmasterstudent geschiedenis Jesse Dijkshoorn werkte mee aan een transcriptiesysteem voor middeleeuwse teksten. ‘Leuk om de middeleeuwen toegankelijk te maken voor mensen.’

Haar bijbaan als stadsgids in Dordrecht opende Lotte Hamm de ogen: niet bedrijfskunde, maar geschiedenis was haar droomstudie. Dit semester begint ze aan de bachelor.

The Vallesian, 11.1-9 Ma, was a special time in the Vallès-Penedes basin near Barcelona, where a biodiversity hotspot existed. Europe had a subtropical climate, with rhinos, forest giraffes, lions, hyenas, flying squirrels and primates.

Adenosine is an endogenous ligand which exerts its action by activating adenosine receptors (ARs), while its circulating levels are controlled via a variety of mechanism and proteins, amongst others the equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs).

Striga hermonthica, commonly known as witchweed, infests major cereal crops in Sub-Saharan Africa causing severe yield losses and threatening the livelihood of millions of resource poor farmers.

A New Technology-Based Firm (NTBF) is a significant enabler of job creation and a driver of the economy through stimulating innovation.

We developed the bitterling as a unique, well-studied model organism in the area of the evolutionary ecology of brood parasitism. The bitterling-mussel relationship, interspecific mussel host preference, and mussel gill structure are studied in detail, to help understand the developmental adaptation…

Op 28 oktober 2021 verdedigde Hein van der Bruggen zijn proefschrift en behaalde daarmee de doctorstitel.

We investigate the buildup of galaxies from various vantage points. The first two chapters focus on the stellar content of galaxies, especially the distribution of stellar masses at birth and potential variations therein in various galactic environments.

Plant exudates appeared long time ago in the history line of life in the early Devonian. They are typical saps produced by specialized cells.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancer in males.

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) reduces vehicle emissions to combat climate change. EVs raise concerns regarding the production of lithium-ion batteries and related emissions; while batteries can also provide energy storage services for the electricity system.

According to the amyloid cascade hypothesis, accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides initiates the pathological cascade in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

With the help of quantum mechanics, digital quantum hardware may be able to tackle some of the problems that are too difficult for ordinary computers. But despite these expectations and the ongoing effort of the research community, reliable quantum computers are not yet realized in a lab setting.

This thesis presents pioneering work on the panchromatic emission of some of the most luminous galaxies in the early Universe: star forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei.

The zebrafish is a promising vertebrate model organism in early drug discovery and development.

In this thesis, we show how MRFM can usefully contribute to the field of condensed-matter.

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics fails to explain several observed phenomena and is incomplete. In order to resolve this problem, one may extend the SM by adding new particles.

This proposed research uses ego-documents from visual artists that were not intended for publication to reassess the scholarly debate on the demise of the Russian Avant-garde aesthetic in the twenties and early thirties of the 20th century.

Classical statistical methods, such as p-values, are difficult for researchers to apply correctly. They for example do not allow drawing conclusions from a study early, or for extending a study with extra research groups that want to make their data available later.

The plant hormone auxin plays a central role in the growth and development of plants. Auxin acts in a concentration dependent manner and polar cell-to-cell transport of this hormone determines its distribution in the tissues of plants. This polar auxin transport is mediated by several families of auxin…

De LUMC Alumni Vereniging is in 1996 opgericht om enerzijds de band tussen het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum en zijn alumni te versterken, anderzijds om de band van de alumni onderling te versterken.

One of the key quests in astronomy is to study the growth and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. Radio observations provide a powerful means of studying the formation of stars and subsequent buildup of distant galaxies, in a way that is unbiased by the presence of dust.

The thesis explores micromammal fossils from the Afşar section in Anatolia, a crucial locality for understanding the Pliocene epoch and the transition to the Villafranchian Age.

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.

Onderzoek vindt plaats binnen drie onderzoekscholen: Azië, Midden-Oosten en Religiestudies. Hierbinnen richten we ons op specifieke regio’s en onderwerpen zoals talen en culturen, erfgoed, en de menselijke digitale wereld.
