Another major scientific breakthrough has been achieved in the Leiden region. Together, Mimetas and the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) have developed an advanced "artery-on-a-chip" model.
Three research teams from Leiden University have recently been awarded prestigious NWO grants. The funding will enable groundbreaking fundamental research in areas such as drug development and cosmic particles.
Researchers at the LACDR at LUMC have developed a synthetic alternative to antibodies that is more stable, cheaper and easier to produce. This discovery could radically change the future of drug development and administration.

Researchers at LUMC have used advanced RNA analysis techniques to discover new biomarkers for the muscle disease FSHD. These biomarkers offer opportunities for better diagnostics and more targeted treatments.
The LUMC introduces PERISCOPE, an AI model that assesses the risk of infection in patients who have recently undergone surgery. By identifying risks more quickly, healthcare providers can intervene earlier and better prevent complications.
