In 1991 he specialized in Laboratory Animal Science and Welfare, and worked for nineteen years as a Laboratory Animal Scientist and Welfare Officer at Solvay Pharmaceuticals.

 

Since 1997 he holds a chair on Microsurgery and Experimental Techniques in Laboratory Animals at the Groningen Centre for Drug Research, Department of Bio-monitoring and sensoring, University of Groningen, the Netherlands.

In 2002 he co-founded International Microsurgical Training Centre, was its Scientific Director and course leader.

In 2009 he started the René Remie Surgical Skills Centre where he is course leader.

After that, she worked partly for Rephartox B.V., a Contract Research Organisation and partly for International Microsurgical Training Centre (IMTC) as animal technician and as course instructor. She developed microsurgical techniques and telemetry models for small laboratory animals under the guidance of Prof. René Remie. Amongst other things, Inge gives instruction in (micro) suturing techniques, cannulations and implantation of radio-telemetry devices. Furthermore she is responsible for proper anaesthesia of the small laboratory animals. Today Inge works at the Free University of Amsterdam, Department of Nucl.Gen. & PET Res.
