Michael Müller

Prof. Dr. Michael Müller is a Professor at the University of Freiburg, leading the Chair of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry within the Faculty of Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Geosciences. His research focuses on biocatalytic processes, environmental chemistry (specifically trifluoroacetate (TFA) dynamics), and the biosynthesis of natural products like polyketides and secondary metabolites. Collaborations include projects on TFA's environmental impact through the Interreg project ReactiveCity and studies on fungal enzyme mechanisms.

• Affiliations: Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Freiburg
• Key Research Areas: Biocatalysis, environmental toxicology, enzymatic reactions, and natural product biosynthesis

His work combines organic chemistry with biological systems, addressing challenges in sustainable pharmacy and environmental remediation. Recent studies include enzyme-mediated defluorination mechanisms and the application of fungal polyketide synthases.
