Paris, Ile-de-France
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorian Mueller is an interdisciplinary imaging scientist and leader with nine years of professional experience, currently heading the Photonic BioImaging platform and leading the Quantitative RNA Imaging group at Institut Pasteur in Paris. Trained in computational physics (MSc) and biophysics (PhD) in Graz, he combines hands-on microscopy, wet lab work, quantitative image analysis and mathematical modeling to develop single-molecule RNA detection methods with high spatial and temporal precision. His work spans validating biophysical assays (e.g., FRAP/FCS) to building analytical frameworks for FISH and MS2 data, applied across projects from transcriptional regulation to genome organization. He has a track record of securing funding, supervising PhD students, and translating methodological advances into service-oriented platform R&D. Notably, his background in computational physics informs a rigorous, model-driven approach to experimental design and data interpretation that bridges physics and molecular biology.
