About Us: Curious by Nature

Founded in 1986, in Baden/Vienna (Austria), pharm-analyt was providing analytical services long before HPLC-MS was widespread. Since the beginning, curiosity has been the driving force at pharm-analyt to discover the interrelatedness of the subject. This understanding of the inherent causes & effects of biochemistry is what differentiates us.

The majority of our work today is based on mass spec technology. pharm-analyt is privately owned and therefore fully independent.


Nothing is impossible


Analytical Acumen – Backed by State of the Art Technology.

When asked about the secret of our success, besides curiosity, two more things come to mind:

- Vast experience accumulated over the last three decades
- Visionary investment in state-of-the-art instrumentation

Management

Team - Prof. Hermann Mascher

 

 

Prof. Hermann Mascher

Founder and Bioanalytical Consultant


Hermann Mascher is the founder and former CEO of pharm-analyt. A chemist and analyst, he has made a name for himself in the course of the past 45 years in the fields of bioanalytics, metabolism and pharmacokinetics.

He will continue his employment at pharm-analyt as Bioanalytical Consultant with a focus on biomarkers and new approaches in assay development.

Most of his scientific papers have been published in peer-reviewed journals.

First awarded a “Who’s Who in the World” listing over 20 years ago, he is the recipient of a number of innovation and science prizes.

Hand-in-hand with the company’s specialist scientific focus, the Management Team at pharm-analyt is also conscious of an ethical obligation in the world at large, derived from a deeply held faith in Jesus Christ. This is why it supports several programmes aimed at improving people’s living conditions in both material, social and psychological terms – especially, although not only, for children and young people.

pharm-analyt believes that today’s world offers no shortage of opportunities for people to get involved in improving the lives of others, both as citizens and as Christians.

Team - Daniel Mascher

Dr. Daniel Mascher

Chief Operating Officer (COO)

 

Together with the study directors, he is the point of contact for sponsors during the implementation of their studies.
Daniel Mascher is a physicist, whose doctoral thesis was in the field of bioanalytics, on HPLC mass spectrometry of trace-level organic molecules.

This area of knowledge – greatly extended at pharm-analyt over many years as GLP/GMP/GCP-study director – is one which he brings to bear very effectively as the COO, facilitating an efficient mode of working among our in-house study directors. He heads a youthful team of analysts and covers both test facility management (GLP) and control laboratory management (GMP).

For GMP studies 2 Qualified Persons (QP), Dr. Klaus Kubesch and Mag. Christian Kikuta, support him.

Our Team

Due to low staff fluctuation over the last 30 years we are proud to have a team with an invaluable wealth of experience and skills. We feel privileged to be able to do what we love: bioanalysis and everything related.

This is reflected in the high level of ownership for the entire process from start to finish.
