Dominique Vanhecke has been awarded 2025 ISTT 3Rs Prize

Published Tuesday, March 18, 2025

Dominique Vanhecke and colleagues have developed palatable formulations that encourage voluntary consumption of water-insoluble drugs such as tamoxifen without loss of efficacy compared to oral gavage or injections. The sweetened formulations are administered using common micropipettes, allowing for accurate, weight-adjusted dosing that can be performed with minimal training of the experimenter. The award has been made possible through a generous education grant from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Dr. Jean-Louis Guénet, a giant in the mouse genetics field, dies at the age of 85

Published Thursday, August 15, 2024

Jean-Louis Guénet (1938-2024). He was 85 years old and would have been 86 in October. I met Jean-Louis in France, in Spain and in Brazil, where we taught a course on mouse genetics and cryopreservation. He has contributed to the identification and cloning of many genes and mutations in the mouse genome, using genetic strategies, well before we got to know the mouse genome (in 2002). His scientific legacy is illustrated by over 300 publications and his many participations at meetings, symposia, workshops and courses. I asked Fernando Benavides (MDACC, Houston, TX, USA), a close friend of Jean-Louis, who also got his PhD supervised by Jean-Louis to write an obituary for a list I am responsible for in Spain, where Jean-Louis had many friends and colleagues. I sincerely thank Fernando for preparing this text. I thought this would of interest for the ISTT family as well. Hence, I took the liberty to translate the obituary to English and I am now sharing it through the ISTT list. Many thanks to Fernando for writing this text. Jean-Louis will be sorely missed. Not only for his scientific knowledge but also for his friendship. May he rest in peace. Lluis

P.S. If you can read Spanish, I invite you to review an interview of Jean-Louis Guénet made by Juan Manuel Baamonde for bioterios.com in 2013.
