N. Sachser
Is professor of zoology and head of the Department for Behavioral Biology at the University of Münster. He studied biology, chemistry, and sociology at the University of Bielefeld and earned his doctorate at the Department of Behavioral Biology. Subsequently, he worked as a post-doc and assistant professor at the Department of Animal Physiology at the University of Bayreuth, where he habilitated in 1992. In 1993, he accepted a call for a professorship in zoology/behavioral biology at the University of Münster. From 1999–2002 Norbert Sachser was president of the Ethological Society. Since 2008 he is a member of the research council of the University of Münster and in 2012 he became an honorary member of the Ethological Society. His research concentrates on the evolution and development of social behavior in mammals, on the interaction of genes and environment in the regulation of emotion, cognition and social behavior, as well as on the topic stress and welfare.

Has been professor for psychiatry and psychotherapy and head of the clinical research group ‘Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder’, as well as of the Laboratory of Translational Neuroscience in Würzburg. He studied medicine in Würzburg, Cape Town and Bern and finished his PhD thesis on opioid peptides in neurological disorders in 1985. During his clinical training at the University of Würzburg as a psychiatrist he earned a research fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health, NIH, Bethesda, USA (1990–1992). After his habilitation, he received a professorship for clinical neurosciences of the Hermann and Lilly Schilling Foundation in 1995. He has held the chair for Molecular Psychiatry at the Department of Psychiatry, Phychosomatics and Psychotherapy, University of Würzburg since 2010. His research concentrates on the molecular neurobiology of cognitive control and self-regulation, epigenetics of brain development and neuronal plasticity, genetic imaging, as well as on animal models for emotion, cognition, learning and memory.
