In 2008, she joined multiple sclerosis research at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar. Within Dr. Martin Weber’s research group, she investigated the fundamentals of multiple sclerosis using a mouse model. Following her work in clinical research, Ms. Grabsch gained approximately 10 years of professional experience in the regulatory field of a testing laboratory. She led the subdepartment of Study Director Assistants within the in vitro Pharmacology/Toxicology department as team leader. In this role, she deepened her expertise in in-vitro and alternative in-vivo studies. Ms. Grabsch has been employed at CFCS Consult GmbH since January 2023.

Her diploma thesis on fungal endophyte toxins was a collaboration project with AgResearch in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Afterwards she earned her PhD grade at the GSF Centre for Food and Live Sciences (now Helmholtz Centre Munich), where she specialized on xenobiotic metabolism and analytical chemistry. At the IUF Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in Düsseldorf she then gained several years of experience in experimental toxicology. Her main task was the Cosmetics Europe-funded „Skin Metabolism Project“, where she examined in vitro alternatives to animal skin testing. At the EUROTOX congress in 2009, she received a „Young Scientist Award“. She joined CFCS-Consult GmbH in June 2016 with a focus on REACH registration and toxicological hazard assessment.

Dr. Felix Endres is one of the founders and has been managing director of CFCS-Consult GmbH until early 2025. He now works as a freelance associate for CFCS. His areas of expertise include ecotoxicology, fate, and physicochemical properties of substances. Dr. Felix Endres completed his chemistry studies at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen and subsequently earned his doctorate under Ernst Bayer on a topic in organic chemistry. Parallel to his studies and doctoral work, Dr. Endres supervised the advanced organic chemistry laboratory course for diploma chemists in Tübingen. From 1991, he worked in the field of chemical risk assessment as an employee of the BUA (Advisory Committee on Existing Chemicals). The main focus areas of this work were the environmental fate of chemicals, physicochemical properties, and ecotoxicology. Chemical reports prepared within the framework of the BUA were developed and published in collaboration with industry, national and international authorities and committees (UBA, BfR, BAuA, US-EPA, OECD). The BUA project ended after 25 years of activity with the introduction of the European chemical regulation for Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) in 2007.
Dr. Endres has experience with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation), the Dangerous Substances Directive 67/548/EEC, the Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC, and the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) No 528/2012).
