This is the first time a Carleton student has been selected for this program which typically accepts applicants from ivy league schools such as Cambridge, Oxford, Columbia, Yale and MIT.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The fourth-year neuroscience student will be researching in the Busslinger lab (IMP \u2013 Research Institute of Molecular Pathology) studying the genes that are involved in signalling stem cells to differentiate into more specific cells that play important roles in our immune system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Luu says the highlight of his Carleton University career has been working in <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/people\/ken-storey\/\">Professor Ken Storey<\/a>\u2019s lab on his own research project. \u201cDr. Storey allowed me to work at my own pace, try new things and mold my own project. Graduate students or Dr. Storey were always there to guide me and answer my questions.\u201d Storey is the Canada Research Chair in Molecular Physiology.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Adds Luu: \u201cThe research skills and techniques I learned and honed at Carleton have allowed me to be a competitive applicant in this scholarship and have prepared me to work in other fields of molecular biology. I can confidently say that the chances of getting a better research experience elsewhere in the country as an undergraduate student are slim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In his spare time, Luu is a senior mentor at Carleton Science Student Success Centre where he helps individual students and organizes workshops and social events like this year\u2019s SSSC Faculty of Science ski trip. He is also a member of Carleton\u2019s varsity rowing team and plays tennis. He attended Ajax High School.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The scholarship covers Luu\u2019s accommodation, airfare and an additional 800 euros a month. Luu leaves June 1 for Europe and returns Aug. 31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neuroscience UndergraduateWins Place at Prestigious Vienna Research Lab &#8211;Exchange Magazine Publication: Exchange Magazine Date: Thursday March 31st, 2011 Source:\u00a0 Exchange Magazine Summary Ottawa \u2013 Carleton student Bryan Luu is off to Vienna this summer for an amazing research opportunity. \u00a0Luu beat out 375 other applicants to win one of 25 coveted places at the Vienna [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
