Improving Peptide-Based Anti-Cancer Vaccines with Phosphatase Inhibitors
Peptides have great potential for vaccines.Peptide-based vaccines aim to increase the population and activity of pathogen/cancer-recognizing T cells by administering antigenic pept...
CoFutures Literacy
People around the world imagine futures differently.These imaginations of the future are most clearly found in the fictions they produce (Future Fictions or Speculative Fiction; SF...
Sperm filtration for improved success rate of assisted reproduction technology
ERC starting grant 3D nanoMorph has achieved groundbreaking results that open an unprecedented opportunity for assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs).ARTs require selecting sper...
Locating Literature, Lived Religion, and Lives in the Himalayas: The Van Manen Collection
This project offers an ambitious study of an important, yet mostly forgotten, collection of Himalayan texts and artifacts collected between 1920 and 1940.It will, for the first tim...
Integrative, AI-aided Inference of Protein Structure and Dynamics
The life sciences community is living in exciting times.During the past year, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in particular AlphaFold2, has contributed to advancing our understan...
Gradient Clock Synchronization for Networks-on-Chip and Cellular Networks
In large distributed computing systems there is a big performance advantage when all communication can be carried out synchronously.Current synchronization techniques result in lon...
Rapid Microplastic Analysis by Microparticle Radars
