Dr. Silvia Wagner
Managing Director
Senior Manager Regulatory Affairs

Silvia is a food chemist by training, holds a PhD in toxicology and qualified as a European Registered Toxicologist (ERT). After several years in the chemical industry, she moved on to the regulatory area in 2012. In 2018, she founded spectra Consult GmbH, an independent consulting company specialised in technical and regulatory affairs for biocides.

With more than 10 years of experience in the crazy biocide world, Silvia gained not only experience with all kinds of BPR activities, but also developed a good sense of the challenging project needs in a highly dynamic field of constantly moving targets.

Silvia founded spectra with the vision to offer tailored support to biocidal projects at any stage, thereby becoming a strong project partner confident to find the best solution to overcome every hurdle.

Going far beyond bringing expertise into the projects, spectra’s commitment expands to roles such as strategic and sparring partner (humorously dubbed by clients as devil’s advocate) or flexible task force (in case the impossible needs to be made possible).

We at spectra work on this goal as a team every day!

Dr. Maren Lillich
Senior Manager Regulatory Affairs

Maren graduated in biochemistry and acquired a PhD in toxicology at Ulm University. She qualified as a European Registered Toxicologist (ERT). After a post-doctoral fellowship at University Medical Center Mainz, she started working in scientific consulting in 2016.

Over the years, Maren dealt with all kinds of BPR authorisation processes and developed to an experienced senior project manager. Whether it is the detailed evaluation of hundreds of pages of PARs, study reports and regulatory comments, or the development of high-level registration strategies, clients can rely on Maren to have an eye for both the minute technical details and the overarching project goals.

In addition, Maren is responsible for training of new colleagues in the technical areas of microbiology, toxicology and risk assessments.

Dr. Dunja Dimitrijevic
Manager Regulatory Affairs

Dunja studied food chemistry at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. After graduating, she started her PhD in toxicology and pharmacology at the department of Experimental Toxicology and Ecology at BASF SE in Ludwigshafen in cooperation with the Free University of Berlin. Her research focus was the development of analytical methods to improve the extrapolation of effect concentrations derived from cell-based assays and in vitro - in silico based toxicological risk assessment.

Bringing in her technical expertise from industry, Dunja has taken over the field of human health exposure & risk assessments, classification & labelling and toxicology evaluation. Moreover, she is responsible for questions related to physical-chemical properties and analytics. As a technical expert, she assists with the preparation and defence of biocidal product and active substance dossiers.

Moritz Link

After graduating, he started his PhD in biology at the Institute of Microbiology at the University Hospital Erlangen. In his research, he investigated a wide range of fungi, and particularly focused on the sexual cycle and clinical implications of the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus.

With his expertise in microbiology, Tobias focusses on efficacy data gap analysis, review of efficacy data packages and development of tailored efficacy test strategies. In addition, he familiarizes with testing requirements for physical-chemical properties and physical hazards in support of biocidal product and active substances dossiers.

Daniel Wagner
Software Development & IT Support

Daniel is a software programmer and business economist. He spent several years as manager in the manufacturing industry. Since this time, he is dedicated to the optimisation of internal process flows by implementing tailored software tools and interfaces.

Even more important than supporting the regulatory team with the maintenance of the ECHA IT tools such as IUCLID, Daniel developed spectra-customised Apps for project management as well as tools facilitating routine work in dossier preparation (e.g. spectra-SOC and spectra-ED).
