Jin Yan is a PhD student supervised by Dr. Henk van Steenbergen. She obtained a master’s degree in Basic Psychology from East China Normal University.

Anne Versluis is a PhD candidate within the Health, Medical and Neuropsychology unit at Leiden University. In her research, she’s interested in how psychological healthcare for vulnerable groups can be improved.

Laura Nawijn is an assistant professor at the unit of Clinical Psychology, where she teaches various courses related to psychopathology and experimental psychology. Her research focusses on psychosocial and neurobiological correlates of depression and PTSD, with a particular interest in stress and trauma,…

Rüya Akdağ is a PhD candidate within the CoPAN Lab of the Cognitive Psychology unit. Her project Mind the Body investigates whether cognitive and affective disturbances influence social anxiety and whether regulating both disturbances via accessible digital interventions can help adolescents learn to…

Our research is aimed at understanding the factors involved in creating cell wall-deficient cells. We investigate the bacterial stress responses to identify the mechanism and genomic alterations behind switching between the walled to wall-less state. With this project, we contribute towards novel treatment…

Rianne de Kleine is an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology department and a psychologist in training at LUBEC. As a scientist-practitioner, she combines scientific research, teaching, and clinical care.

Thomas Willems is a PhD candidate at the Department of Clinical Psychology and his research focuses on the mechanisms and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Specifically, the aim of his PhD-project is to reduce the gap between experimental research that is done in the laboratory, and…

Rayyan Toutounji (also written as Tutunji), is psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist specializing in stress-related disorders such as depression and burnout. He has previously worked at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour where he investigated how neural responses to stress…

I am interested in coping with stress, on both the behavioral and the physiological level of biological function. I am predominantly working with zebrafish, but also other species in the field. My approach is multi-disciplinary and integrative, including molecular biology, morphology, biomechanics and…

My group focuses on understanding the regulatory mechanisms by which plants integrate abiotic stress-derived signals into growth and developmental programs, and the molecular machinery that underlies stress memory in plants.

I received my PhD-degree at Leiden University in 1998, after which I went to San Francisco, California, USA for a four-year post-doc with fieldwork in Cameroon and Colorado. Subsequently, I returned to Leiden for another post-doc and to become assistant professor in 2004 and associate professor in 2…

The Ding Lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which plants activate immunity upon recognition of different pathogens, especially via transcriptional regulation. To tackle this, we apply cutting-edge technologies and multi-disciplinary approaches. We welcome both academic and industrial partnerships…

I am associate professor Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology at the Institute of Biology (IBL). I am interested in the several aspects related to the growth and development of the filamentous fungi. These include elucidation of molecular mechanisms related to the transcriptional regulation of…

Serkan Aslan is a Ph.D. candidate at the Division of Drug Discovery and Safety (DDS) since November 2022. I obtained my BSc degree from Bogazici University in Molecular Biology & Genetics, then had my MSc degree from Ludwig Maximilian University in Cellular & Molecular Biology with a specialization…

Kaya Peerdeman's research focuses on the effect of biopsychosocial mechanisms on treatment outcomes. She specifically focuses on how expectations shape health.

Prof. Dr. Bob van de Water is head of the Cancer Therapeutics and Drug Safety group at the Division of Drug Discovery & Safety.

Elizabeth Buimer is Assistant Professor in the program group Forensic Family and Youth Care Studies. In her research, she focuses on the interaction between the social environment and brain development as predictors of vulnerability and resilience in adolescents.

Streptomyces is used extensively in industry for the production of bioactive metabolites and enzymes. These multicellular bacteria grow as filamentous, branching cells, via a process called polar growth. This process is driven by the DivIVA protein, making it crucial to gain a deeper understanding of…

Our main research interest is to understand the underlying mechanisms of plant protection against (a)biotic stresses mediated by microorganisms. Our group is specialized in the development of new multidisciplinary approaches to systematically correlate microbial genes and biosynthetic gene clusters…
