Testimonials

René Remie is watching you!” That Is the feeling I still have during my operations…although my 3-day-radio-telemetry course was already 2 months ago! 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. I had to lear… Read more
Kathrina Wiesen, Germany
I completed two training modules at RRSSC and only thanks to René, I dare to call myself a veterinary surgeon. Owing to René’s unmatched surgical skills, inextinguishable enthusiasm for teaching, patience with inexperienced students, top level course programs and technical facilities, I learned everything I needed to run a high standard veterinary clinic. This includes good surgical practice – Halsted principles, perioperative care, pain management and respecting animal welfare – as well… Read more
Eva Stoffels, veterinarian
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
Stefen, DVM, Switzerland
I attended a tailor-made 5-day course “Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice” in March 2010. This was by far the best course I’ve ever had. I came with limited micro-surgical skills, but in just a few days I succeeded in performing a very complicated operation. This had never been possible without René’s vast experience and calm teaching style. His surgical capability exceeds anything I have ever seen and he manages to share his knowledge in a highly enthusiastic yet comfortable way… Read more
Zindy Raida, Denmark
This June 2025 training was fantastic! It covered not only the basics of Good Surgical Practice, suturing, anaesthesia, and perioperative care of laboratory animals, but also a practical approach to our own techniques and problems. The discussions with René and Irene gave me a better understanding of animals’ reactions and physiology during surgery. Together, we refined my procedures, which will consequently improve the welfare of the animals.

For me personally this course has saved months of hard work and given me a much better experimental setup as well as made me a better surgeon.
Zindy Raida, Denmark
I would highly recommend the Microsurgery and Experimental Techniques course run by René and Irene. It was very professionally run, with both theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations/learning that were tailored for my personal benefit, which was very much appreciated. I learnt a lot during my time at the RRSSC, especially the multiple surgical models that I requested as well as practical tips that will improve them.
MZQ, London, April 2023
Attending the 5 day microsurgery course at René Remie’s Surgical Skills Centre has been the single best investment for my research career to date. This is a highly informative, superbly organised course which delivers vast amounts of knowledge and advice. The theoretical lectures are delivered in an interesting and casual manner. Plenty of time remains for the practical learning, using fantastic equipment and ideal surgical stations. Experiencing this ideal set up has helped me at home to set… Read more

Prof. Remie is an oracle of animal science. For me, he achieves balancing the complexities of the many aspects of surgery, without overloading you with information, while adding warmth and a touch of humour in his delivery, along with the occasional well-placed anecdote. I have yet to meet anyone with such a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of anatomy and surgery combined with the experience of in vivo research. His teaching style is direct, yet never condescending, and he is a master o… Read more

I took a 5-day course on Microsurgery and Experimental Research Techniques in Aug. 2022. Prof. Rene is highly knowledgeable and helpful. The course was tailored to what I needed. I definitely recommend this course to those who like to learn about microsurgery techniques. Somayeh Ezzatpanah
