In het onderzoeksprogramma Drug Discovery & Safety zijn we geïnteresseerd in de werkzaamheid en veiligheid van nieuwe medicijnen en nieuwe manieren om deze aspecten te bepalen. Daarvoor combineren we geavanceerde imaging en high-throughput screening technieken met computationele aanpakken zoals chem-…

This thesis describes the development of improved formulations and alternative delivery strategies for polio vaccination.

Drug-target binding kinetics determine the time course of the central event in pharmacotherapy: Drug-target interaction.

In previous studies at our laboratory it was demonstrated that drug exposure of HepG2 cells can lead to an altered TNFα-induced NF-κB oscillatory phenotype, concurrent with a synergistically increased sensitivity for TNFα-induced apoptosis.

In deze opleiding ontwikkel je je onderzoek skills en verbreed je je kennis over de meest moderne en geavanceerde technieken die je nodig hebt als onderzoeker op het gebied van target finding en het ontwerp en de synthese van nieuwe geneesmiddelen.

The RNA guided endonuclease based on the CRISPR/Cas system of Streptococcus pyogenus is a potent new tool for genome engineering in plants.

In this thesis, we will utilize embryonic zebrafish tumour models to understand the interaction between engrafted human cancer cells and macrophages from the host, test drug administration modalities and anti-cancer efficacies of newly-developed PDT and PACT compounds, and test a light-triggered liposomal…

In the last decades, activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has emerged as a powerful chemical tool that may aid the ever-challenging drug discovery process.

Het ontwikkelen van nieuwe medicijnen is een complex proces waarbij veel partijen samenwerken. De onderzoekers van het LACDR zetten zich dagelijks in voor nieuwe, betere, efficiëntere en makkelijker produceerbare medicijnen. Het instituut werkt nauw samen met het LUMC, met bedrijven op het Leiden Bio-Science…

Over several decades, a variety of computational methods for drug discovery have been proposed and applied in practice. With the accumulation of data and the development of machine learning methods, computational drug design methods have gradually shifted to a new paradigm, i.e. deep learning methods…

This thesis describes the importance of being able to control the selectivity of potential drug candidates.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed as anti-inflammatory drugs due to their well-established immunosuppressive effects.

During the course of drug discovery translational steps are made.

Particles are omnipresent in biopharmaceutical products. In protein-based therapeutics such particles are generally associated with impurities, either derived from the drug product itself (e.g. protein aggregates), or from extrinsic contaminations (e.g. cellulose fibers).

Membrane fusion is a vital process in living organisms and is mediated by zipper-like proteins.
