RIO RANCHO, N.M.– Nature’s Toolbox, Inc. (NTx), a life sciences company enabling novel RNA product development, today announced that it has appointed Yesim Roth as Chief Financial Officer. In this strategic role on the NTx executive team, Roth will lead financial systems improvements and contribute to organizational strategy as NTx works to accelerate the growth of its biomanufacturing systems and bioinformatics platform.
