Draft:Christoph W Müller

  • Comment: This one is tough as he is certainly a strong scientist. There seems to have been a misunderstanding in a previous review about what he is -- an academic in a national lab type of organization. As such he falls under WP:NACADEMIC.
    While he is close, there is no mention of any major awards or Dean-equivalent positions that qualify. None of his "honors" qualify, for instance getting a grant or being in a panel are routine parts of an academics career. I can only review based upon the material provided, and it is not enough to pass the high bar required. Sorry. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:10, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Some sources seem to be from the company he works at, sources need to be Independent of the subject. Per general notability guidelines; Significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources are needed to demonstrate his notability. Please read WP:SIGCOV Notability depends on the impact his work has had. Lewolka (talk) 15:11, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Christoph W Müller is a German structural biologist. He is the Head of the Structural and Computational Biology Unit at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany.[1][2]

Education edit

Müller studied chemistry at the University of Freiburg from 1981 to 1986. He received his PhD in x-ray crystallography and biochemistry in 1991 from the University of Freiburg.

Career and Research edit

Müller held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Freiburg, and Harvard University. He was appointed Group leader in structural biology at EMBL Grenoble in 1995 and Deputy Head of EMBL Grenoble in 2000. Müller has been the Head of the Structural and Computational Biology Unit at EMBL Heidelberg since 2007. Müller’s research uses cryo-electron microscopy, x-ray crystallography, biophysical and biochemical approaches to learn about the molecular mechanisms of transcription regulation in eukaryotes where DNA is packaged into chromatin. His areas of research comprise DNA recognition by eukaryotic transcription factors,[3], molecular mechanisms of nuclear transport,[4] and the structural basis of DNA-dependent RNA transcription initiation, elongation and termination by RNA polymerase I and III.[5][6]

Affiliations and Honours edit

In 2005, Müller was elected as a Member of the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO).[7][8] In 2013, he obtained an European Research Council Advanced Investigator Grant.[9] He has been a Member of Academia Europaea since 2018.[10] Since 2019 he has sat on the Instruct-ERIC Council.[11] In 2014 he was invited to join the Scientific Advisory Board for the French Infrastructure for Integrated Structural Biology (FRISBI).[12][13] Further more he has twice held (2019, 2015) the Panel Chair position of the ATIP-Avenir programme, a partnership between the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Inserm.[14] In 2017 he was appointed as a member of Scientific Advisory Board for the Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Protein Research.[15] In 2003 he was awarded the Steinhofer-award from the Steinhofer Foundation, University of Freiburg.
