Dieter Hennecke Fraunhofer Institute Molecular Biology and Ecotoxicology Head of the Department Ecological Chemistry
Dr. Dieter Hennecke is since 2008 head of the Department „Ecological Chemistry“ at the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Ecotoxicology (Fraunhofer IME), Germany. He has a doctoral degree (1998) in chemistry and is an expert on the fate, degradation, and metabolism of organic chemicals in environmental matrices in the framework of the respective regulations (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, biocides, REACH). His expertise with 14C-radiolabelling as a means to investigate chemical degradation pathways in complex matrices is one of the key technologies used in this field. He uses it to develop and improve regulatory guidelines, e.g., a long-time member of national and international standardization boards (DIN, ISO).
