• Tapping into Semantic Recovery Research output

  On May 31st, Bobby Ruijgrok succesfully defended his doctoral thesis and graduated. The Leiden University Centre for Linguistics congratulates Bobby on this great result.

• Computational modeling of cellular dynamics in tumor cell migration Research output

  Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) and tumor cell migration play an important role in cancer progression, and an improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying these concepts is essential for developing new targeted approaches.

• Computational modeling of angiogenesis: from matrix invasion to lumen formation Research output

  Promotor: Roeland M.H. Merks

• Education Clinical Neurodevelopmental Sciences

  The group is involved in training in areas of diagnostic skills, treatment/prevention/intervention, neuropsychological assessment, behavioral observations, clinical interviewing, knowledge of intellectual disability, autism, ADHD, psychosis and aggression.

• Precision modeling of breast cancer in the CRISPR era Research output

  The molecular mechanisms that instigate a healthy cell to become malignant are fueled by (epi)genetic alterations in so-called driver genes.

• A study on PsbS and its role as a pH sensor Research output

  Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

• Matchmaking for open innovation: perspectives on multi-sided markets Research output

  Promotores: Prof.dr. B.R. Katzy, Prof.dr. K. Sailer (Munich University)

• Phrasal alternation in Kerinci Research output

  On May 23rd, Ernanda succesfully defended her doctoral thesis and graduated. The Leiden University Centre for Linguistics congratulates Ernanda on this great result.

• Modelling the interactions of advanced micro- and nanoparticles with novel entities Research output

  Novel entities may pose risks to humans and the environment. The small particle size and relatively large surface area of micro- and nanoparticles (MNPs) make them capable of adsorbing other novel entities, leading to the formation of aggregated contamination.

• Multiscale mathematical biology of cell-extracellular matrix interactions during morphogenesis Research output

  During embryonic growth, cells proliferate, differentiate, and collectively migrate to form different tissues at the right position and time in the body.

• The electrochemical reduction of dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide by molecular copper catalysts Research output

  The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an essential half-reaction for the utilization of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, via the conversion of hydrogen to electrons and protons facilitated by the ORR. In the most common fuel cells, the ORR is requires high loadings of non-abundant platinum…

• Development of innovative engineered models for viral diseases Research project

  A main goal of MSBB research is to address the major bottle-necks in combatting viral diseases: the lack of experimental models that are representative of human pathology and are cost effective and versatile. Viral diseases such as those that cause viral hemorrhagic syndromes or severe acute respiratory…

• Structure dependence of molecular reactions on surfaces Research output

  The research presented in this thesis makes use of small molecules (as H2 , D2 and O2 ) on well-defined single crystal surfaces (flat Pt(111), flat Cu(211) and curved Pt(111)) to elucidate the role of surface structure and degrees of freedom in the reactant in specific surface reactions.

• Research Social, Economic and Organisational Psychology

  The research of the unit is aimed at the development of models to explain and describe the influences in social systems. Social influences are studied in three ways: from the perspective of group dynamics, from an individual-cognitive perspective, and from an economic and consumer psychological pers…

• The ins and outs of ligand binding to CCR2 Research output

  Promotor: Prof.dr. A. P. IJzerman, Co-Promotor: Dr. L.H. Heitman

• Nucleosome stacking in chromatin fibers probed with single-molecule force- and torque-spectroscopy Research output

  In human cells, a meter-long DNA is condensed inside a micrometer-sized cell nucleus. Simultaneously, the genetic code must remain accessible for its replication and transcription to functional proteins.

• Interkingdom Signaling between Bacillus subtilis and Sporisorium scitamineum Research project

  Exploiting the Ecological Role of Natural Products as Novel Biocontrol Agents (LIPQUORUM): The central aim of LIPQUORUM is to unravel the intricate interkingdom signaling mechanisms between the Bacillus subtilis species complex and the devastating fungal pathogen Sporisorium scitamineum.

• Targeting the adenosinergic system Research output

  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).

• Substrate adaptability of β-lactamase Research output

  The research aims to explore the evolutionary adaptability of enzymes and the impact of temperature on protein evolution pathways, using M. tuberculosis β-lactamase BlaC as the object of study. Enzymes inherently embody a delicate balance between activity and stability, and the acquisition of new enzymatic…

• Cellular Forces: Adhering, Shaping, Sensing and Dividing Research output

  Promotor: Prof.dr. T. Schmidt

• Animal Sciences Research project

  We perform multidisciplinary research at molecular, cellular, and organismal levels of animal biology to increase fundamental understanding of health and disease.

• Coupled Electronic and Nuclear Dynamics at Interfaces of Artificial Photosynthesis Devices Research output

  Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most pressing challenges that humanity faces in the coming decades.

• Exploring chemical space in covalent and competitive glycosidase inhibitor design Research output

  Glycoside hydrolases (glycosidases/GHs) are widely abundant enzymes in all kingdoms of life and are important biocatalysts that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages in oligo/polysaccharides, glycoproteins and glycolipids with tremendous efficiency

• Gene networks-based mechanistic assessment of drug-induced organ toxicity: a focus on liver and kidney Research output

  Drug induced organ toxicity is the main problem of the drug development and drug usage in the clinic. The liver and kidneys are the most sensitive organs towards drug induced toxicity.

• Governance and Dispute Settlement in the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol Research output

  In this working paper, Dr. Joris Larik provides an analysis of the governance and dispute settlement mechanisms under the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol.

• Overlooking the obvious? Understanding patterns of policy inaction in organisational decision-making Research output

  In this article, Sanneke Kuipers and Machiel van der Heijden examine how patterns of policy inaction emerge in public organisations, arguing that systematic biases and organisational decision premises contribute to the failure of policymakers to address pressing societal issues.

• Buckling on demand News - 9 June 2015

  Researchers from Leiden University, the Netherlands, designed a novel metamaterial that buckles on demand. Small structural variations in the material single out regions that buckle selectively under external stress, whereas other regions remain unchanged. The research is published in this week’s Early…
