CV: Matthias Schittmayer-Schantl studied technical chemistry at Graz University of Technology, where he completed his diploma studies in 2004. He completed his diploma thesis, opens an external URL in a new window on retroviral vector systems in collaboration with the company Austrianova, opens an external URL in a new window in Vienna. He then moved to the former Research Center for Applied Biocatalysis (now ACIB) and received his doctorate in 2008 as part of a collaborative project with the US company Biocatalytics Inc. (now CODEXIS, opens an external URL in a new window) with a dissertation on “New oxidoreductases for metabolite synthesis, opens an external URL in a new window” at Graz University of Technology. After completing his doctorate, Schittmayer-Schantl moved to the Medical University of Graz as a postdoc to deepen his knowledge of OMICS methods and activity-based proteomics. He developed lipase-based activity markers with click chemistry handles, which are still used in research today. In addition, he identified regulatory sites of the CGI-58 protein using top-down proteomics and developed numerous LC-MS methods for the quantitative analysis of metabolites. In 2016, an Erwin Schrödinger Fellowship enabled him to conduct research at ETH Zurich. After his return, he initially continued his research at the Medical University of Graz before securing a career position at the Vienna University of Technology in 2021. In 2025, he habilitated in bioanalytics and has now successfully completed his career position with the qualification of associate professor.

Matthias Schittmayer-Schantl's scientific home is the Bioanalytics Research Group (E164-01-3) within the Imaging and Instrumental Analytical Chemistry Research Area. There, he works on mass spectrometry, chromatography, proteomics, metabolomics, one-carbon metabolism, redox metabolism, activity-based proteomics, and omics data analysis.
