Directory, Spirochete Research Community
 
Return to Treponema Molecular Genetics Server
Last update: May 31, 2007
 
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
