Wereldwijd hebben miljoenen kinderen te maken met ziektes die relatief makkelijk te voorkomen zijn. Sarah Spronk onderzocht de vraag welke prioriteiten voortvloeien uit het recht op gezondheid van kinderen om vervolgens kindgerichte gezondheidszorg te kunnen vormgeven.

Een onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van prosociaal gedrag.

Niels van Willigen (Instituut Politieke Wetenschap, Universiteit Leiden) plaatst de Nederlandse deelname aan VN vredesmissies in een historische context. Hij bekijkt de redenen voor een afname van de Nederlandse inbreng na 1990 en verkent de obstakels en mogelijkheden voor een ‘Nederlandse terugkeer’…

Dit onderzoek richt zich op hoe de voedselconsumptie en -verspilling van huishoudens tijdens COVID-19 werd aangepast aan de levensstijl.

Klimaatverandering, verlies van biodiversiteit en milieuvervuiling zijn urgente problemen die vragen om een nauwe samenwerking tussen juristen en natuurwetenschappers. De Leidse universitair docenten Hilde Woker en Jason Rudall onderzoeken deze belangrijke interface tussen recht en natuurwetenschap.…

How can mega sand nourishments, such as the Sand Motor, be designed and managed for optimal ecosystem services provision ?

In this thesis, we used genetically engineered mouse models to identify genes and pathways that are involved in ILC formation and in the development of resistance to FGFR-targeted therapy.

Carbon dioxide capture and utilization technologies are necessary to create a truly circular economy. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to formate is an appealing carbon utilization method as it can be performed at room temperature and pressure, it only requires two electrons, and it has…

Do sustainability values play a role in motivating people to act for biodiversity in successful projects and in successful leadership action? And how could these values be incorporated in current economic valuation methods?

Neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), are increasing in prevalence due to the aging population. Despite extensive study, these diseases are still not fully understood and the lack of personalised treatment options that can target the cause of the diseases, rather than the symptoms,…

To improve cancer treatments, personalized medicine approaches have aimed to identify exactly which mutations are driving tumor development in a given patient and specifically target these mutations using precision therapies.

There is accumulating evidence for an increase in severe global drought events. In particular, Europe experienced several severe droughts in 2003, 2015, and 2018 (unprecedented in the past 2,110 years). Such droughts have caused serious and far-reaching impacts on terrestrial ecosystems.

The thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and changing physical architectures during the formation of stars.

The aims of the project are to: further clarify 'inhibition by safety'; explore and describe all possible sagety factors, with a special focus on the primary human safety source: social connectedness; reviewing prolonged stress responses without stressors.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely tied to the cyclic feedback processes between stars and the interstellar medium (ISM).

Catalysis is of extreme relevance in the production of everyday materials and plays a central role in many aspects of our life.

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.

Nanoparticles can be used as delivery systems for both small molecules and macromolecules such as proteins, peptides or oligonucleotides. This thesis focuses on the use of liposomes, nanometric vesicles formed by a lipid bilayer enclosing an aqueous core. Liposomes are highly versatile delivery syst…

The outbreaks of AIDS and COVID-19 showed clearly how infectious viruses can influence people’s lives. Investigating the changes in the host metabolism may provide a paradigm shift to consider immune-metabolic interactions as therapeutic targets.

Cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) are involved in the clearance of viruses and killing of tumor cells.

Most of current public-key cryptography is considered insecure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography studies methods to secure information resistant against such attacks. One proposal is isogeny-based cryptography, which bases its security on computational…

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.

Acute cardiovascular syndromes, including myocardial infarction or stroke, are the principal cause of death in the Western society. The main underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases is atherosclerosis, which is caused by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the vessel wall, in…
