Testimonials

I participated in the December 2023, 5-day Module B, Microsurgical and Experimental Techniques course intending to learn how to perform one of the most difficult surgeries in small rodents. As a total beginner, I had very low expectations for my performance in this training. However, in only 5 days I gained both theoretical and practical knowledge for microsurgeries, knots, anesthesia, and anatomy, which in my mind I expected to take months or even a whole year to obtain. I actually managed to p… Read more

Prof Remie’s insulin clamp course was excellent and really surpassed my expectations. In short I left feeling fully prepared to set up the technique in my home lab. This has been borne out with early surgical success (in terms of catheterisation) and enough know how to begin to run the clamp experiments themselves. The two course leads provide an incomparable set of skills. Prof Remie lends his years of knowledge and expertise in the surgical techniques (bilateral carotid and jugular indwellin… Read more

When I started the course I thought that I would never ever learn how to implant a catheter in the carotid artery of a mouse without killing the animal. And now?! It takes me less than 10 minutes until the catheter is fixed in the artery without any loss of blood and the animals are running around in their cage a few hours later.
Kathrina Wiesen, Germany
I attended an adapted 3-day course from 25th to 27th April 2012. It will help me a lot in my future research work. I am a general surgeon and worked in clinics for about 8 years. I also performed animal experiments before, such as partial hepatectomy, intra portal vein transplantation, hepatocytes isolation. I could do these animal experiments, but I still had some questions. I needed to improve my skills in animal surgery to do them perfectly. I took my questions (and also my colleague’s ques… Read more

Participating in the 5 days microsurgery training at RRSSC was a great experience and moved forward our project so much. Implementing all the good advice and skills we took home from Almere are now daily business in our lab. Many thanks to René, his team and family for the warm welcome”.
Bioelectronics Merck KGaA, Darmastadt, Germany
In June 2018, I had the great pleasure to take part in a course organized by RRSSC and Primetech on the implantation of iPrecio mini pumps into the blood vessels of mice and rats. Thanks to Rene’s valuable tips and perfectly organized training, I have almost immediately performed the procedure of the jugular and femoral vein catheterization in mice and rats. Something that previously seemed to be impossible for me. With the help of René, it took around 20 minutes to get the catheter into the ve… Read more

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding theoretical and practical course you and Irene gave in Bellinzona, where I have seen, practised and learned new procedures and skills, taught with a dedication that has left an indelible impact on my knowledge and I feel compelled to convey my heartfelt thanks. I am grateful not only for the successful outcome of the microsurgery course but also for the manner in which you and Irene conducted yourselves. Your dedication to your cra… Read more

We are now using what we learnt on the course. I believe we are able to make it work. That was easy! and that will be easy.
Chunyu Jin, Denmark
I attended the ABS-course at the RRSSC in September 2016. It was probably the most informative course I have been on in my academic career to-date. There was only a small group of us on the course which was great and meant we could ask all the questions we needed. The ability of attendees was very wide, ranging from myself (complete beginner with catheter surgery) to some who had 18 years’ experience in the field. Despite this we all received the specialist training we required which was brill… Read more
Joanna, Manchester University, UK
“The course in experimental research techniques will get you up to speed with all the microsurgical procedures required for your project in no time. I participated in the course as a total beginner in microsurgery and 5 days later I was able to perform successfully the microsurgical procedure I needed for my research. The course gave me both a theoretical and practical background and it was tailored to my needs. The instructors, René and Irene, were wonderful! They guided me throughout the ha… Read more
