“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.”
