Research Interests: Müller's research explores molecular mechanisms in lifespan determination, age-related diseases, and cancer metabolism. She investigates how C/EBPβ isoforms regulate translation, metabolic reprogramming, and tumor progression, often using mouse models and biochemical assays.

Publications: Her recent work (2025) examines the TSC complex's dual role in cancer and the oncogenic functions of FTO in breast cancer. Earlier studies (2018-2023) include C/EBPβ-LIP's impact on fat tissue growth, triple-negative breast cancer cell migration, and metabolic shuttle activation.

Collaborations: Müller collaborates with researchers like C.F. Calkhoven and G. Kortman on projects involving gene regulation, cancer metabolism, and aging. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.
