Moritz Jesse has been awarded a Jean Monnet Chair by the European Commission. In his MIND-EU Project he will focus on a coherent way to teach Migration, Integration, and Non-Discrimination at Leiden Law School at bachelor and master level.

BlaC is the β-lactamase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We show that it can recover from inhibition by clavulanic acid and that phosphate helps it do so.

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide, and better models are urgently needed for disease progression studies and drug development.

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

Almost all bacteria are enveloped by a cell wall that provides cellular protection.

This thesis addresses the chemical processes that determine the compositions of giant planet atmospheres.

Arithmetic geometry concerns the number-theoretic properties of geometric objects defined by polynomials. Mathematicians are interested in the rational solutions to these geometric objects.

In this thesis, classes of strongly interacting quantum field theories, have been studied.

Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is among the cancers with the highest mortality rate, despite a relatively low incidence.

This thesis consists of two subjects, that are both a consequence of radiation pressure.

Dit proefschrift omvat vier deelstudies waarin de ‘pedagogische vakkennis’ (pedagogical content knowledge ofwel PCK) van bètadocenten wordt onderzocht.

Students with learning problems experience difficulties in reading, writing, and content-area learning into and throughout their secondary-school years

Het middelbaar beroepsonderwijs (mbo) wordt gekenmerkt door drie belangrijke componenten: het leren op school, het leren op de werkplek en de verbinding daartussen. Reflectievaardigheden spelen een belangrijke rol bij die verbinding.

Miriam Cohen verdedigde haar proefschrift genaamd “Reparations for International Crimes and the development of a Civil Dimension of International Criminal Justice” op 28 juni 2017. Ze schreef haar proefschrift onder supervisie van prof.dr. L.J. van den Herik en prof. dr. C. Stahn.

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.

Plants and soils from natural ecosystems harbor great diversity of soil microorganisms, which could potentially contribute to the sustainability of horticulture. The knowledge about using wild plant species and soil from natural ecosystem to improve the crop health will advance the application of ecological…

In most applications, electrocatalysts exhibit a large surface area to volume ratio, for example using nanoparticles.

Op 9 januari 2019 verdedigde Marieke Wierda haar proefschrift 'The Local Impact of a Global Court: Assessing the Impact of the International Criminal Court in Situation Countries'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof. dr. C. Stahn en prof.dr. L.J. van den Herik.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), one of the largest families of membrane proteins, are responsive to a diverse set of physiological endogenous ligands including hormones and neurotransmitters.

Understanding interactions in quantum many-body systems remains one of the most profound and difficult challenges in condensed matter physics.

We found that, next to the effectiveness of the intervention, it’s also very likely that the intervention is cost-effective compared to attention only.

In the first part, we introduce a new condition, called toric-additivity, on a family of abelian varieties degenerating to a semi-abelian scheme over a normal crossing divisor.

Dennis Broeders is voor het jaar 2023-2024 benoemd tot ‘Global Chair’ aan de Universiteit van Bath.

A sustainable resource management is an essential aspect to satisfy the current human needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

In some condensed matter systems, such as the surface of a 3D topological insulator, the electrons are effectively massless and we must necessarily use the massless Dirac equation to describe them.

Given the accelerating appearance of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for more fundamental research into novel antibiotic strategies. The work in this thesis helps to address this global problem by developing new antibiotic compounds, inspired by the antibacterial mechanisms of the…

Microglia support the central and peripheral nervous system by forming the first line of defense against hazardous events. Microglia are increasingly acknowledged as critical players in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting them as potential therapeutic targets.

In this dissertation, we work towards an experiment in which we aim to bring a micrometer sized magnet at the tip of a soft cantilever into a superposition.

Make more fluid: In condensed matter systems, electrons can acquire unusual properties from their interaction with the atomic lattice.

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.

On the largest scale, the Universe resembles a cosmic spiderweb. Most galaxies coexist in small groups within the threads of this web. At the nodes of the threads are enormous groups of galaxies forming the largest structures in the universe still held together by gravity: clusters of galaxies.

The stratum corneum is the outermost skin layer and consists of dead cells embedded in a lipid matrix.
