Direc tory, Spirochete Research Community
Return to Treponema Molecular Genetics Server
Last update: August 11, 2008

 

Note: This directory began as a list of researchers interested in Treponema, but has been expanded to include those interested in spirochetes in general.  If you would like to add your name to the list, add another researcher, or correct the address information, please contact Steven.J.Norris@uth.tmc.edu.

The directory is in alphabetical order. You may use the "find" function in your WWW browser to locate addresses.

We would like to add a one-line description of research interests for each addressee. That way the "find" command could be used with key words to locate researchers with particular interests. Please use the email function to submit your research description.

Email may be sent directly by clicking on the address. Some of the email addresses that were nonfunctional have been removed, and require correction by the addressee.

Thanks, Steve Norris
