NWO ENW-XS grant awarded to five Radboud researchers
Five research projects by Radboud researchers receive an ENW-XS grant from NWO (Dutch Research Council).
Antibiotic resistance: an urgent problem, but one that can be solved
Antibiotic resistance has been a growing problem for years. However, chemist Willem Velema believes that we can make significant progress in controlling this problem within a few years. ‘I am convinced of that.’
Radboud chemists are working with companies and robots on the transition from oil-based to bio-based materials
Chemical products are still often based on fossil raw materials. Radboud scientists are contributing to the ‘materials transition’ towards products made from biobased raw materials. Robots and AI are assisting in this process.
Chemical computer next step in limitation of excessive energy consumption
In the fight against the enormous energy demands of current technologies, Mathieu Baltussen of Radboud University has taken an innovative step. For the first time, he has successfully created prototype of a chemical computer.
Three grants for research into a more sustainable, efficient chemical industry
Three projects by researchers at Radboud University have received funding from, among others, NWO and the National Growth Fund project Big Chemistry, to conduct research into a more sustainable and efficient chemical industry.

ENW-XS grants for four Radboud researchers
Four research projects from Radboud researchers receive an ENW-XS grant from the NWO (the Dutch Research Council).
NWO Domain Science-M grants for research into polymers, hydrogels and the universe
Five research projects by researchers from Radboud University have received a grant in the new round of the Open Competition Domain Science-M programme.
What to do when antibiotics no longer work?
More and more bacteria are becoming insensitive to antibiotics, so a treatment of antibiotics has no effect. And the increasing resistance to antibiotics can seriously threaten public health. ‘The development of new antibiotics is going slow.’
NWO ENW-XL Open Competition Grant for research on the origin of life
A consortium including researcher Evan Spruijt from the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of Radboud University, has been awarded an NWO ENW-XL Open Competition Grant for the project 'Approaching De-Novo Life.
ERC Consolidator Grants for research on synthetic cells, programming and air showers
Three Radboud University researchers are set to receive a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
NWA-ORC funding for research on the origin of life
The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded (amount) euros to the PRELIFE project in the NWA-ORC funding round. Within this initiative, Herma Cuppen and Evan Spruijt, researchers of IMM, will contribute in separate research projects.
Launch of new doctoral network ComeInCell to train future cell scientists
Today, the EU-funded doctoral network ComeInCell launches, exploring cellular mechanisms with synthetic replicas and training future cell researchers. Evan Spruijt, researcher in IMM, is one of the fourteen Principal Investigators in the network.
Summit Grants for research on climate change and the evolution of living cells
Wilhelm Huck and Caroline Slomp have both received a Summit Grant from the NWO with their research consortia.
NWO Summit Grant for studies on the evolution of living cells from lifeless molecules
A large consortium involving Wilhelm Huck, Professor in Physical Organic Chemistry at the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of Radboud University, has been awarded a NWO Summit Grant to work on the EVOLF programme.
The first organic oscillator that makes catalysis swing
Scientists at the University of Groningen have now developed an oscillating system that contains a catalyst, and exhibits periodic catalytic activity: this synthetic chemical oscillator can do more than just keep time.
Droplets in cells determine the accumulation of proteins in age-related diseases
Tiny droplets in our cells can accelerate the accumulation of protein deposits in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, but they can also hinder this accumulation. Chemists are set to publish their new findings on 2 December.
Open Competition ENW-XS for two Radboud projects
The NWO Domain Board Science has awarded 2 Radboud applications in the Open Competition ENW-XS.
