Christoph Hansy Takeda

Christoph Hansy has 16 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. He is currently member of the Global Sterility Assurance and Microbiology Management Team at Takeda and based in Vienna, Austria.

In his current role he provides subject matter expertise as well as technical leadership on microbiological matters, such as method related projects, microbial control strategies, and contamination/investigation support in a global role. The Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET) as well as the traditional Rabbit Pyrogen Test have been key focus areas for many years in his career, as well as technical operator, but also as leader of these laboratories, including the participation in multiple global projects and studies in this field. In his current global role, the viewpoint moved more to the strategic component of Endotoxin and Pyrogen testing. Recently the evaluation of a global Pyrogen control/testing strategy became one of his core tasks.
