Thank you so much for introducing me to the mouse microsurgery. I had no experience at the beginning of the course and little confidence. You have left me with the tools to perform mouse surgery and the confidence to do it. You are very patient, well informed and encouraging.

Yelena,
Thank you very much for this great training. I already feel more comfortable handling tine veins and arteries and that’s all because of your expertise and skills demonstration. I have never known that you could accomplish such delicate tasks in such short period of time.
