As a board member, Loy will help the NA3RsC fulfill its goal of facilitating communication, sharing and collaboration to bring transformational solutions to advance science and animal welfare.
"The NA3RsC is excited to welcome Meaghan to its Board," said Ben Cappiello, current NA3RsC President and AxoSim executive.
