Jun 07, 2023 - [accordion] Workshop Extreme Value Statistics John H.J. Einmahl Tilburg University We begin with a detailed introduction to univariate and multivariate extreme value statistics. Since we assume basic knowledge of univariate extreme value theory, we put emphasis on the multivariate case, which will be for notational convenience the bivariate…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/molecular-biology/dr-stiaan-labuschagne-group

Jun 09, 2023 - In our group we focus on the metabolic changes cancer cells undergo during tumour development and progression. We are particularly interested in two areas. Firstly, the effect of the tumour microenvironment on metastasis and therapy resistance and secondly, the role of one carbon metabolism on cancer cell mitochondrial function The effect of the…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/molecular-biology/members-dr-stiaan-labuschagne

Jun 09, 2023 - Research Background to research Virology and Neurobiology Virology and molecular neurobiology are distinct fields of study, but they intersect in their investigation of different aspects of viruses and the nervous system. Virology examines viruses' structure, replication, and interactions with host cells, while molecular neurobiology…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/molecular-biology/aprof-rencia-van-der-sluis-biochemical-genetics

Jun 09, 2023 - Research Background to research What is Biochemical Genetics? Biochemical Genetics is the study of the relationships between genes and enzymes, specifically the role of genes in controlling the steps in biochemical pathways. The focus of our research is to elucidate the role of secondary detoxification pathways in alleviating the symptoms…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/molecular-biology/members-biochemical-genetics

History to the Group
Jul 04, 2023 - When joining the North-West University in 2004, Professor Cobus Kriek established the PGM Chemistry Group having moved to the NWU from The Council for Mineral Technology (Mintek). The initial research research focus was very much geared towards the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) and could be summarised as focussing on “electron transfer to and…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/background-research
Background to the Research
Jul 04, 2023 - As the research focus expanded, the group was later renamed the Electrochemistry for Energy & Environment (EEE) Group. We are currently interested in the research and development of metal-based electrocatalysts and photo-electrocatalysts for their application in electrolysers and dye-sensitized solar cells. These materials include extended…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/current-research-focus
Current Research Focus
Jul 04, 2023 - Our key research focus areas include electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photo-electrocatalysis. Electrocatalysis Electrolysers and fuel cells employ electrocatalysts at both the cathode and anode, which in the majority of cases employ a single platinum group metal (PGM), a combination of PGMs, or a combination of PGMs and base metals…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/research-leaders-and-publication-links
