Who am I, and why am I starting a substack now?

The power, freedom, and vision of an independent trans-disciplinary researcher

The last few years have highlighted the lack of skilled knowledge and expertise, within individual disciplines, but even more so, seen from a broader/encompassing perspective. As a trans-disciplinary professional, it is natural for me to draw on many decades of my expertise and draw my own conclusions.

• I spent the first 20 years of my academic career in mathematics (M.S. and PhD, University of Klagenfurt, Austria, both summa cum laude).

• I was among the first women in Austria to receive the Habilitation in Discrete Mathematics and Cryptography (2002).

• The following 15 years, I spent as a Research Associate at the Centre for Information Security and Cryptography Research, University of Calgary, and as an Assistant Professor at the University of Wyoming.

• A lifelong passion for biology and medicine eventually triggered my decision to radically expand my field of expertise. Consequently, I earned my second PhD (Biomedical Sciences) in 2014 at the University of Wyoming (with a GPA of 4.0).

• Since then I have been utilizing my experience in the theoretical fields to help advance a broader appreciation and comprehension of phenomena and challenges arising in the biological and life science domains. For almost ten years, I have been warning of new Biosafety and Public Health dangers, but for years was told my concerns were not yet relevant and that I was ahead of my time.

• Only recently, my concerns about new safety and new security challenges in synthetic biology have been supported by others, and I have become one of the leaders in the new domain of biocybersecurity and cyberbiosecurity.

• My interests and curiosities are not limited to those fields as I find great excitement in physics, theology, philosophy, ethics, spirituality, and the complexity and fascination of nature altogether.

During the last few years, my most notable refereed and published contributions are:

• My BOOK “Challenges and Opportunities of mRNA Vaccines Against SARS-CoV-2,” 2023, 439 p., 61 illus.(https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-18903-6). The entire frontmatter, which is rather long and also explains what the book is all about (it's very critical), can be downloaded for free from this site:

https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bfm:978-3-031-18903-6/1?pdf=chapter%20toc. The book consists of 13 chapters containing analyses, interpretations, and arguments that are slowly being re-discovered elsewhere, as well as additional ones that have not been published by anyone else.

• Recombination between coronaviruses and synthetic RNAs and biorisk implications motivated by a SARS-CoV-2 FCS origin controversy - freely available from https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbioe.2023.1209054/full. Here, I extend the article by Ambati et al. which first introduced the possibility of the Moderna-patented sequence in CoV-2. Their article has a commentary that seemingly disqualifies all the statements made in this important article. My follow-up article on this rectifies all these purported counter-arguments and adds yet even further evidence as to how the patented sequence could have ended up in CoV-2 (biological and technological plausibility).

• Rarely Recognized Antibody Diversification in Covid-19 Evolution to Counteract Advanced SARS-CoV-2 Evasion Strategies, and Implications for Prophylactic Treatment - freely available from https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2021.624675/full. Here, I stress the pitfalls of over-reliance on sequence-based determinants, e.g. related to (adaptive) immune responses.

• Facing the 2020 pandemic: What does cyberbiosecurity want us to know to safeguard the future? Freely available from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590053620301129. Here, I highlight, among others, that cyber overlaps and cyberphysical systems turn the bioscience field into a platform for high-impact adverse consequences that demand immediate attention.

• Potentials of Pathogen Research Through the Lens of Cyberbiosecurity, or What Threat Actors Can Learn from the Covid-19 Pandemic. This invited book-chapter appeared in the Springer book “Cyberbiosecurity” (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-26034-6_10). Here, I describe the danger of the intended weaponization of pathogens via a computer interface. Specifically, I analyze possible gaps fostered by the computerization and automation of related biotechnologies, taking the pandemic as an example to scrutinize any possible vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. In addition to questions about the origin of SARS-CoV-2, actual challenges during the pandemic are discussed from an adversarial perspective, revealing a disturbing gap between an actual biological/clinical entity in question and its digital information, which is difficult to close even in a well-intended context.

I am also a member of The European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER), please see https://ensser.org/tag/siguna-mueller/

I fully trust the God-Principle “TRUTH DOES SET YOU FREE.”

The goal of my substack is to bring Light and Truth as an experienced trans-disciplinary researcher and independent thinker. On occasions, I will also be sharing things that encourage and uplift me, e.g. based on God-Principles and other foundational laws. For right now, the substack is free, but please consider supporting my work. Light and Blessings to All!
