The ambition of the Analytical BioSciences and Metabolomics group led by Thomas Hankemeier is to develop innovative analytical strategies for metabolomics-driven health monitoring and systems biology studies. Understanding the intricate balance between health, disease and adaptation to challenges relies…

The Leiden van Leeuwenhoek Lectures on BioScience are a monthly series of interdisciplinary themed lectures organised by the Bioscience Inititative (BSI).

On June 26, 2014, LIACS organizes an event where you can learn more about LIACS research on Bioscientific data processing and modelling, as well as Bioinformatics support by the BioIT team.

This master specialisation is ideally suited as a basis for starting a research career at a university or research institute and for a position in a bioscience-based company.

After graduation you are well equipped to start a career in evolutionary research or to take the responsibility for projects in an industrial or institutional research environment.

Completing your Master’s in Biology gives you an internationally recognised degree which you can follow up with a PhD track. With your acquainted skills, you’re a much requested professional in and outside research.

Chemist Gerjan de Bruin has designed a method of slowing down the degradation process of proteins in cells. This may contribute to new cancer medicines with fewer side-effects. PhD defence on 1 June.

Zebrafish-human communication shows that cancer cells lacking a signaling protein are less able to develop aggressive metastatic properties. This discovery has been made by molecular cell biologist Claudia Tulotta. PhD defence 14 June.

The master's specialisation Molecular, Cellular and Organismal Biology at Leiden University examines the molecular mechanisms underlying health and disease and how cells and organisms adapt to environmental factors.

Researchers at Leiden University have made a breakthrough in the study of the hereditary Pompe disease. Together with colleagues in York, they have developed a molecule that binds to the enzyme that is key to the progress of the disease. The findings have been published in ACS Central Science.

In honour of Krijn Rietveld (1956 – 2018), Leiden University Fund and Royal DSM have created the Krijn Rietveld Memorial Innovation Award. This annual award was launched in 2020 and is organised to recognise and reward excellence in innovative research that contributes to a more sustainable world.
