• Overview over physiological and pathophysiological molecular processes in humans 
• Advanced understanding of the structure, metabolism and molecular function of biomolecules in the cellular context
• Limited insights into central metabolic pathways of plants and bacteria
• Knowledge of the principles behind biochemical, cell biological and molecular biological methods 
• Understanding the link between signaling cascades and metabolic pathways to assess systemic outcomes 
• Basic knowledge about the linkage to common human diseases and therapeutic strategies

• Structure and function of biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleosides, nucleotides, nucleic acids), including enzymes and cofactors
• Organization of cells and basic cellular processes: biomembranes, transmembrane transport, cell compartments, vesicular transport, cytoskeleton, cell cycle, programmed cell death 
• Reactions, mechanisms, regulation and bioenergetics of the carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, energy, nucleotide, and heme metabolism 
• Molecular biology with focus on DNA replication, mutations, DNA repair, transcription, and translation 
• Cellular communication, among others via nuclear receptors, G-protein-coupled receptors, receptor kinases, and receptors with death domains
