Mueller completed her Ph.D. in the History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania and her masters in genetic counseling at Arcadia University. Her book project, The Genome and the Biome: Cystic Fibrosis at Six Feet Apart, Mueller uses cystic fibrosis as a case study of novel diagnostic technologies, risk and sociality. In her fellowship, Mueller is investigating the impact of genetic diagnoses on individuals’ conceptions of time and the future, adding to the nascent literature on disability and temporality through a comparative study of adults with cystic fibrosis and beta thalassemia.
