LUMC has received tens of millions for new research based on stem cells. The partnership between LUMC and reNEW consortium, aims to develop new treatments for partients with chronic diseases.
Leiden physicists Daniela Kraft and Julio Melio, together with their research team, have created soft structures that can change shape without external force. This research paves the way for translating metamaterials to the microscale.
Quantum technology offers a fundamentally new way to process problems, process information, and improve security. PhD candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant investigated how quantum research can change the world.
Leiden physicists and engineers have designed a microscope that can measure four important characteristics of a material with nanoscale precision in a single measurement. This accelerates research and innovation in the field of quantum materials.
The Leiden-based biotech company Ncardia is teaming up with LUMC on the development of a new platform enabling the automated production of 3D cardiac microtissues. This platform enables efficient and reliable testing of medicines and their effects.
Research by the LUMC shows that CD8 T cells, which attack diseased cells such as cancer cells, function better when their cell division is temporarily paused. This discovery provides new insight into how cancer treatments can be combined more effectively.
