Phd Student in In-vitro Toxicology

**Background**: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory disease characterised by the degeneration of the protective myelin sheath, leading to the formation of lesions in the central nervous system. Regeneration of myelin, known as remyelination, represents an attractive target for novel therapies to promote clinical recovery in MS. There is...

**PhD student: Single-molecule biophysics of the ubiquitin motor Cdc48/p97**: **Work Activities**: **Questions -** Ubiquitin is central to a broadly important regulatory system within cells, which controls anything from protein degradation to membrane remodeling and DNA replication regulation. Cdc48 performs these tasks by disassembling protein complexes,...

**Jouw functie**: More than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the food production chain. Replacing animal proteins in our diets with plant-based alternatives drastically reduces these emissions. Plant-based diets are also healthier. However, current plant-based alternatives to dairy and meat do not have the desired taste, texture or...

**Function description**: - The labs of Alan Gerber (Amsterdam UMC - Location VUmc) and Fred van Leeuwen (Netherlands Cancer Institute, NKI) are teaming up to crack the code of gene regulation of tRNA genes. In a project supported by ZonMW, we will address how the hundreds of tRNA genes in our genome are regulated in their own unique way in response to...

**Work Activities**: Did you know high-energy electrons can serve as efficient sources of optical excitation of matter? Our group has developed cathodoluminescence microscopy, in which we use 1-30 keV electrons in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to excite nanomaterials. The oscillating electric field carried by the electron serves as a broadband (0-30...

This project focuses on developing sustainable materials and processes to further reduce the environmental impact of Si heterojunction (SHTJ) cells without hampering efficiency, by using thinner wafers and avoid the use of scarce metals, like indium and silver.Work ActivitiesEco-design, or sustainable design, plays a crucial role in the development of solar...

**Your function**: **Project**: How nanoscale molecular processes at synapses control memory formation **Project description**: Synaptic plasticity, the ability to modify synaptic strength in response to neuronal activity, plays a central role in the capacity of the brain to encode memories. It is thus important to understand the molecular events that...
