Michael is here with us today to tell us all about his journey through life and science.

Dr. Mueller started his career as a Physical Therapist and later returned for a PhD in Movement Science to help him answer questions that arose while he treated patients with movement problems. His area of research focuses on the biomechanical factors that contribute to injury and tissue adaptation in people with chronic diseases, particularly people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. Much of his career has been devoted to understanding the causes of leg amputation in people with diabetes, and what can be done to prevent that amputation. His current work is investing how movement and metabolic problems interact to either cause or prevent musculoskeletal problems in people with diabetes.
