Professional competences:

After this module the students are able to
- describe the mechanisms of proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.
- understand the significance of different cellular signalling cascades for these processes.
- have extensive knowledge about the different components of signalling cascades.
- analyse pathophysiological consequences of malfunctioning signalling pathways.
- understand in which ways nutrition is able to interfere with these complex processes.

Key competences:

After this module the students are able to
- discuss the regulation of the homeostasis of the human body by hormones, cytokines and growth factors in health and disease and to grasp the complexity of this regulatory network.
- evaluate the possible input of "omics" technologies and bioinformatics in these scenarios.
- apply this knowledge in the appraisal of problems of human nutrition and health.
