Prof. Dr. Hannsjörg Schröder is Head of Department II of Anatomy at the University Hospital of Cologne. His teaching focuses on the clinical neuroanatomy of humans and the comparative neuroanatomy of Rodentia for students of human medicine and neurosciences. His research focuses on topics of neurodegeneration using molecular histochemical methods.

Dr. Natasha Moser is a graduate biologist and lecturer at the Department II of Anatomy at the University Hospital of Cologne. She has been teaching macroscopic anatomy and neuroanatomy courses for many years for students of human and dental medicine as well as prospective physiotherapists. Her scientific interest focuses on neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease) and nicotine receptors.

Dr. Stefan Huggenberger is zoologist and lecturer at the Department II of Anatomy at the University Hospital of Cologne. His research deals with the comparative anatomy of the senses of vertebrates, especially whales and dolphins. His expertise in this field is reflected in numerous scientific publications and several reference books.
