We are excited that we could again invite a world-class program of speakers for the LED3 Lectures 2026/2027.

Full program below. All current information can be found here: https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/science/led3/led3-lectures

Let us know in the comments, which lectures you are mot looking forward to! (1/7)

We celebrated our amazing, interdisciplinary early drug discovery community at the 3rd LED3 PhD/Postdoc symposium with more than 120 participants from all of our institutes, the Leiden University Medical Center, the Leiden Bio Science Park and beyond. (1/4)
We are very happy that Howard Hang from Scripps Research visited us today to give the keynote lecture at the 3rd LED3 PhD/Postdoc symposium. He talked about "Chemical dissection of microbiota mechanisms in health and disease".

We are very happy to get started with the 3rd LED3 PhD/Postdoc Symposium.

Our organizers, Daan van Valkengoed, Fabienne Sterk, Martijn van der Zwet and Annabelle Neri opened the symposium. We thank them for their amazing work on this event.

We then heard opening words from our Rector Magnificus, Sarah de Rijcke, and our Dean, Jasper Knoester, who both highlighted the importance of collaborative interactions and talent development.

We are looking forward to a full day of exciting science!

We are looking forward to the LED3 Lecture by Madelon Maurice on June 25th. She will talk about "SureTACs: A novel modality for targeted degradation of cell surface proteins".
