“My research experience at Rice has been life-changing in ways I could never have imagined. I never anticipated I would be traveling to international conferences, for example, but from the very beginning Dr. Mikos treated me as a valuable member of his bone regeneration research team. He provided encouragement. He let me follow my ideas. In short, he is the perfect mentor.”

Neha Datta '06 was the lead author on a research paper published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
