About
Urs Mueller is a researcher whose work bridges the frontiers of structural biology and future urban mobility. His most impactful contribution lies in the development of high-throughput methodologies for electron microscopy, specifically his 2010 paper on automated screening of 2D crystallization trials. This work, which has garnered 36 citations, introduced a transformative tool-chain for sample preparation and microscopic analysis, enabling researchers to rapidly and systematically evaluate crystallization conditions. By automating a traditionally labor-intensive process, Mueller’s innovation accelerated structural studies of membrane proteins and macromolecular complexes, directly supporting the broader cryo-EM revolution. In a striking shift of focus, Mueller also explores the infrastructure challenges of autonomous vehicles, as seen in his 2019 work on “NuMo – New Urban Mobility.” This paper, though with fewer citations, addresses the critical question of urban capacity under automated transport systems, analyzing how constant-speed driving and vehicle separation limits shape future city design. Mueller’s dual expertise—from nanoscale sample screening to macroscopic transport planning—demonstrates a rare versatility, making him a notable figure for students interested in interdisciplinary research that spans the life sciences and engineering.
