Dr. Vett Lloyd is a professor of Biology at Mount Allison University working on ticks and the pathogens they transmit.

Dr. Lloyd is the co-founder of the Canadian Lyme Science Alliance, an organization that aims to unite scientists, clinicians, and patients in the quest for a more comprehensive understanding of Lyme disease.

She is also the founding member of the Canadian Lyme Consortium and the Mount Allison Lyme Disease Network, interdisciplinary networks of researchers tackling the biological, social and human dimensions of Lyme disease and incorporating the Lyme patient community as full partners in this endeavor.
