Testimonials

In April 2012 I had the pleasure of attending a course in microsurgical techniques at René Remie Surgical Skills Centre in Almere, The Netherlands. This was an experience that by far exceeded all my expectations. René is a wonderful person with a passion to teach others the amazing microsurgical techniques he is mastering to perfection. René has a way of making everyone around him in a good mood and at the same time push you forward as hard as possible to make you learn far more than you thou… Read more

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.

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

“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
Singapore University, 2019
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
I would recommend that anyone working in the scientific field who is interested in performing surgery or is currently performing surgery on Laboratory Animals should definately attend this course. They will obtain many new ideas with a wealth of information as I did.
Hazel Smulders, United Kingdom
I had the pleasure of attending the 5-day Module C course at the René Remie Surgical Skills Centre (RRSSC) in Almere, the Netherlands, from October 6 to 10, 2025, with a special focus on radiotelemetry in mice. The instructors, René Remie and Irene Cuesta, were exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the course. René, with his vast experience, not only explained the theoretical aspects but also enriched the sessions with fascinating stories from his own research, the h… 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 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
From my experience on the 3-day radiotelemetry course, I would absolutely recommend this, or indeed any of the courses to anyone, to those with plenty of in vivo experience as much as those with only a little. The breadth and depth of René’s skill and know-how and his ability to get key messages across are second to none, all within a friendly atmosphere conducive to asking questions, promoting discussions and getting the right help at the right time. A thoroughly excellent course.
