Andrea Reyes Elizondo is a lecturer and PhD candidate at the Centre for the Arts in Society working on the history of reading, and a researcher at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS).

Aimee Boyle creates metal-binding peptides and proteins with the aim of investigating their structural properties and exploring their potential functions. At a fundamental level, the effects of metal-binding on peptide folding (and vice versa) are probed and applications of these metal-containing biomolecules…

Dennis Hetterscheid tries to understand and mimic bioinorganic multi-electron processes that are relevant to our future energy infrastructure. The research of Dennis Hetterscheid is carried out both in the MCBIM and CASC research groups of Leiden University.

Thomas Bäck (Fellow, IEEE) received the Diploma degree in Computer Science in 1990 and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in 1994, both from the University of Dortmund, Germany.

In photosynthesis, sunlight is converted into the biochemical energy needed to power life and drive cellular processes. Anjali Pandit combines advanced spectroscopy and biochemical approaches to understand the structural mechanisms that regulate photosynthesis in atomic detail.

The goal of Geert-Jan Kroes is to achieve the ability to predict the outcome of dissociative chemisorption reactions of small molecules on transition metal surfaces. This requires an accurate modeling of the molecule-metal surface interaction and of the reaction dynamics, including energy dissipatio…

I am an internist-endocrinologist in the Department of Internal Medicine and Professor of Diabetology, in particular the neuro-endocrine regulation of diabetes and overweight.

Ksenia Fedorova is a university lecturer at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society. Within the Modern and Contemporary cluster of LUCAS, she is affiliated with the Environmental Humanities sub-cluster.

There are still many life-threatening diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, metabolic syndrome and cancer, for which there are no suitable therapies available. Mario van der Stelt aims to discover new molecules that can act as drug candidates for these type of diseases. He is also a member of the interdisciplinary…

When the tokay gecko loses its tail, a new one grows from resident stem cells at the stump. Each tissue type - muscle, bone, blood vessels and skin - develops from specific stem cells. This discovery by Luthfi Nurhidayat holds potential implications for advancing regenerative medicine in humans. Nurhidayat…

My research focuses on the role of authenticity in science museums and on measuring the impact of science communication.
