Thijs Porck Mphil, docent bij de opleiding Engelse taal en cultuur, heeft dit jaar de Onderwijsprijs Geesteswetenschappen gewonnen. De prijs bestaat uit een oorkonde en een bedrag van 1000 euro.

In this thesis, two potential therapeutic targets for diabetic nephropathy were dentified and investigated. First, we show that glomerular clusterin is upregulated in diabetic nephropathy and demonstrated that recombinant clusterin protein can protect the podocytes against oxidative stress in vitro.…

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.

Binnen het brede netwerk van de Universiteit Leiden neemt het instituut deel aan onderzoek binnen de volgende profileringsgebieden:

Het archeologisch erfgoed van Zuid-Amerika wordt in toenemende mate bedreigd door de uitbreiding van landbouwactiviteiten, de uitbreiding van infrastructuur, illegale houtkap en de huidige bosbranden die het Amazonegebied en andere gebieden van het continent teisteren.

This programme aims to make the digitized archival sources of the Kerala and Tamil Nadu Archives more accessible to Indian and international scholars and to the widest possible audience, in particular to the people of Kerala.

Wil je een volledige academische opleiding? Dan ga je na je bachelor door met een masteropleiding. Met een masterdiploma op zak heb je meer kans op een baan op academisch niveau. Na afronding krijg je de titel Master of Arts (MA).

Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

The research presented in this thesis concerns one of the most important questions in software engineering of our time: how can we make sure that software is free from memory safety bugs?

This thesis focuses on protoplanetary disks: flattened structures of gas and dust around young stars in which planets are expected to form and grow.

Metal complexes and 2D materials like graphene were combined to produce structures that can function as sensors.

Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities.

In my research, we developed a method to distinguish knots. A knot is a mathematical depiction of the everyday knot that occurs in ropes and cords.

Is dat appje bot of juist vriendelijke bedoeld? In geschreven taal ligt een misinterpretatie altijd op de loer. Universitair docent Lauren Fonteyn legt in Trouw uit hoe dit komt.

There is concern about the threat that nanoplastics (NPs) may pose to both wildlife and humans. This thesis explores the mechanisms of toxicity of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) in chicken embryo.

This thesis describes the functional analysis of the Arabidopsis AHL15 gene.

Azië en Europa hebben in toenemende mate met elkaar te maken. Om een duurzame samenwerking te bevorderen is het belangrijk elkaar op economisch, sociaal-cultureel, historisch, en juridisch gebied beter te begrijpen. Leidse wetenschappers leveren al decennia een belangrijke bijdrage aan de verwerving…

The complexity of an intelligence problem determines to a great extent the certainty that can be provided by intelligence and security services.

This thesis is is made of three parts. The first part describes a generalization of the Chabauty's method, that can be used to determine the rational points of a curve such that s+g>r+1, where g is the genusof the curve, r is the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of the jacobian of the curve and s is…

In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

Multiple stars, that is two or more stars composing a gravitationally bound system, are common in the universe.

Drug development is a time- and resource-consuming process that starts with the discovery and validation of a (protein) target that contributes to pathogenesis or disease progression.

Streptomyces are filamentous bacteria that produce more than two-thirds of known antibiotics.

This thesis deals with properties of Jacobians of genus two curves that cover elliptic curves.

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

CREEA is a FP7 project on compiling and refining environmental and economic accounts. The project runs from April 2011 to March 2014.

Over the last decades, aviation safety has improved strongly. As a downside, airline pilots do not have as many opportunities to develop through experience the competencies that they need in critical situations.
