RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY: : s, M$ g2 i7 ^* A % S! V3 L# i t9 SAdam Arkin is interested in the evolutionary design principles of cellular regulatory networks and how these principles aid in the prediction, control, and design of cellular behaviors. His lab develops physical theory and computational tools for understanding cellular processes such as gene expression, signal transduction cascades, and cytomechanics. The lab also analyzes genomic data relevant to the dynamics of regulatory networks in a number of viral, bacterial, and eukaryotic systems, and performs experiments to test the theories.作者: linxingxing 时间: 2009-9-3 21:02
International Applicants 5 @' l6 h0 f6 O: W: T9 I2 {Graduates of recognized academic institutions outside the United States should hold a degree equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. Equivalency is determined by International evaluators in the Graduate Admissions Office. 7 l" H* Z+ h% z. yRequired Records: Submit official transcripts or academic records for all university-level studies you have completed, at U.S. institutions and abroad. If your academic records do not include official evidence of the award of your degree, you must also submit additional documents that verify its award.

Academic records should be issued in their original languages accompanied by English translations (usually prepared by your university or governmental agency, unless the institution issues original documents in English). In general, records or transcripts must be issued by the school and include the school’s stamp or embossed seal and the signature of the authorizing official. For more detailed information on acceptable documents, please contact Graduate Admissions. / O. {0 b$ H1 S4 ]
In English translations, degree names and grades should be transliterated, not converted into English words or the U.S. grades of A-F. If you must obtain a translation while in the United States, versions prepared by certified members of the American Translators Association are acceptable. W. {( ]2 R3 n9 p

All applicants from countries in which the official language is not English are required to submit official evidence of English language proficiency. This requirement applies to applicants from Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Latin America, the Middle East, Israel, the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, most European countries, and non-English-speaking countries in Africa.

Tests taken before June 2008 will not be accepted even if your score was reported to Berkeley. The institution code for Berkeley is 4833. You may submit a photocopy of the Examinee’s Score Report for review purposes only, but this is not a substitute for an official score report. 0 |' z! w7 v3 lFor purposes of admission, your most recent score must be at least 570 for the paper-and-pencil test, at least 230 for the computer-based test, or at least 68 for the Internet-based test (iBT). Please contact individual academic departments for more information, as they may choose to require a higher score. " p3 ?0 l/ j6 U, l" P% m7 W
The iBT emphasizes integrated skills so that its format and scoring are different from either the CBT or the paper version of the TOEFL.

Graduate Record Examination (GRE)3 y9 \! ~: F k, Y7 |* [' I
Most departments, schools, and groups require applicants to take a standardized test such as the General Test of the GRE, a Subject Test of the GRE, the GMAT, MCAT, OAT, or LSAT. Consult the department to which you are applying for its requirements. To send an official score to Berkeley, list the institution code assigned by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for Berkeley, 4833. In addition, list the ETS code for the department to which you are applying. If more than one department code might be appropriate, check the department’s instructions on which code to use.* ]4 g: w" h( a8 I2 t1 _
Dates and information for computer-based testing (CBT) may be obtained by contacting the Educational Testing Service (ETS) at the address below, by calling 1-800-GRE-CALL, or by consulting the GRE website. / m( x1 W6 `+ o
Applications for the GRE can be obtained from the Educational Testing Service, Box 6000, Princeton, NJ 08541-6000, (609) 771-7670, or the website. , p& f1 ~' \% j; {& G. m( @! }Domestic candidates from families with extremely low incomes may qualify for a waiver of GRE test fees. Consult your undergraduate financial aid office to determine whether your institution participates in the GRE Fee Waiver Program and whether you qualify.

At least three letters of recommendation are required. Please print your name and the department to which you are applying clearly at the top of the forms (Letter of Recommendation). Use departmental recommendation forms instead of "the graduate application Letter of Recommendation form" if instructed to do so by the department. - u: p, q+ o2 L6 MYou are responsible for forwarding these forms to your recommenders. All letters of recommendation should be submitted directly to the department to which you are applying. Some departments have early deadlines for fellowship applicants.

If you want to undertake graduate study without working for a higher degree, you may apply for course-work-only status. You must, however, meet the same admission requirements as degree candidates, have a definite scholarly or professional purpose in applying, and be admitted to a regularly established major field of study. There is no limited or unclassified status available to graduate students. Course work only students do not qualify for fellowship consideration or for academic appointment as a Graduate Student Instructor and can be accommodated only if a department is willing to include them in its enrollment target. Not all departments accept course work only students. Please check with your academic department before starting an application. There is a maximum of two semesters of study. Admission to course work only status precludes all future admission to any degree program at UC Berkeley.* i8 d$ J2 n% w( ^5 b3 |0 j
Duplication of Doctoral Degree 5 M5 o% Q J# ?: [' v* n/ T4 QStudents who already hold a doctoral level degree are not admitted and duplication of degree or admission to a lesser degree is not permitted. However, in extraordinary circumstances, the faculty of the department may request an exception from the Dean of the Graduate Division. The department must demonstrate that the second degree field of study and program are distinctly different from that of the original degree, and that there is a professional or scholarly purpose that requires this second degree.' e q; a# f9 G) Y* U) ]5 c
University Extension, Concurrent Enrollment3 L. q# j$ x6 G1 D; T- S! O
Concurrent courses are those taken through University Extension under the instruction of a regular member of the Berkeley faculty. Concurrent enrollment cannot replace normal registration by Berkeley graduate students, nor can it be used to accumulate credit toward a degree from Berkeley. Berkeley Division regulation A208 allows UC Berkeley Extension courses carrying the “XB” designation on University Extension transcripts to be accepted for unit, requirement and grade-point credit on the Berkeley campus under specific conditions (see the Academic Senate website). Exceptions will be considered only upon the recommendation of a Graduate Adviser to the Dean of the Graduate Division and only when it is evident that a student was in graduate standing at an institution other than Berkeley when he or she undertook the course work.! @4 p; [! b' R" d5 D
Transfer of Credit from Other Institutions : C- e4 H- C. k! F" I- kYou cannot transfer credit from other institutions if you are seeking a Ph.D. degree. Up to six quarter units or four semester units of credit for work you have taken elsewhere can be credited toward the master’s degree if (a) the work was taken in graduate status at an accredited institution, (b) it did not form part of a program for a degree previously awarded at Berkeley or elsewhere, and (c) the grade received was at least a “B” and the student’s overall GPA at both institutions was at least 3.3. Acceptance is subject to the approval of the Graduate Division upon recommendation of the department concerned. Transfer of credit will not reduce your academic residence requirements or the required minimum of 200-series courses in the major field. 5 n ~' U- S3 s. B0 x; pSummer Sessions- U; U8 h& I9 |!
