Torsten Müller (Business Development Manager, Bruker Daltonics) is an LC-MS enthusiast with a strong interest in sample preparation, method optimization, and workflow enhancement within the field of proteomics. He gained valuable experience working in the labs of Hanno Steen in Boston and Ruedi Aebersold in Zurich before completing his PhD at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Jeroen Krijgsveld, focused on improving the robustness, reproducibility, and throughput of proteome profiling in clinical specimens.
During his time as a postdoctoral researcher, he successfully implemented an automated workflow based on the SP3 methodology. This streamlined approach allowed for the efficient processing of diverse clinical sample types, such as tissue, FFPE material, serum, plasma, CSF, and cells. His work contributed to the MSCoreSys/SMART-CARE consortium, where he utilized the timsTOF platform. As Business Development Manager for Proteomics at Bruker, Torsten’s motivation is to make proteomics more accessible to the scientific community at large by fostering collaborations, driving innovation, and empowering researchers to tackle the complexities of the proteome and advance proteomics research.
