Across many decision-making tasks, people and animals systematically repeat (or alternate) their choices - even when the choices they make are intrinsically uncorrelated. This phenomenon (also known as 'sequential effect' or 'choice hysteresis') has been known for at least a century, and may be a stable…

In the hunt for a vaccine against cervical cancer, fundamental knowledge about the immune system and organic chemistry have been brought together and have already resulted in a vaccine that is now being tested in clinical trials. Scientists are now working hard on an improved variant.

Research at the Catalysis and Surface Chemistry group is comprised of the following research themes:

The programme consists of multiple courses and will teach you about a range of legal, regulatory and ethical issues with respect to digital technologies.

We organise various activities for high school students and their physics teachers to learn about Astronomy at Leiden University.

The mission of the Young Academy Leiden centers around three pillars: interdisciplinarity, science and education policy, and outreach. In addition, we have a community & communication workgroup that serves as an umbrella.

On the second floor of the Lipsius building is room 2.17, an active classroom designed with a capacity of 24 for active, group-based classwork. From 2019, the room will be part of the ZRS system and can be booked by the Humanities faculty and Humanities Service Desk.

Within the Chinese medicine, more than 80% of the constituents of the preparations are derived from plants. Like any other organism, plants are constantly interacting with their changing and often harsh environment during the various phases of their life cycle.

In this thesis an activity-based probe was discovered that could visualize the activity of PLAATs. With an optimized gel-based ABPP assay in hand, screening of a compound library led to the discovery of alpha-ketoamides as a hit for PLAAT3.

Everyone is welcome at the Leiden Science Family Day. We have set up a programme with a variety of activities for children, teenagers and adults.
