N.B. professor aims to broaden tick research after battling Lyme disease
August 16, 2025
When Vett Lloyd was bitten by a tick in 2011, it marked the beginning of a painful, years-long battle with Lyme disease. It also abruptly altered the trajectory of her career.
At the time, Dr. Lloyd’s research at New Brunswick’s Mount Allison University was focused on cancer biology but she wondered why people weren’t paying more attention to ticks. So, she converted her cancer lab into a tick lab and reoriented her life’s work around the tiny bloodsucker that nearly ruined her.
