Martin Müller

Professor Martin Müller leads the Chair of Pharmaceutical Biology at the University of Würzburg’s Biocenter. His research focuses on lipid signaling pathways and secondary metabolite metabolism in plant adaptive responses to biotic/abiotic stress. The group employs metabolomics/lipidomics for rapid adaptation mechanisms, genetic functional testing, and cross-organism metabolic modeling (plants, Drosophila). Students are invited to internships, theses, and doctoral projects involving mass spectrometry, molecular methods, and interdisciplinary collaborations.

• Research themes include plant stress physiology, metabolomics, and circadian clock effects on metabolism.
• The Metabolomics Core Unit partners with infection biology, bioinformatics, and ecology groups.
• Key organisms: Arabidopsis, maize, Drosophila, microbes, mammals.

Training emphasizes modern metabolite analysis for careers in agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors.
