Searching University Websites for professors

Buenos a todos,

I was privelaged to receive a fellowship in the united states to work with a researcher in another country in my field of interest. Trouble is, I am finding it terribly difficult to navigate the websites of most South American universities. I'm looking for professors working with infectious diseases, a little blurb on their background, and contact information (email, telefono, etc...). Where should I be looking? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. In addition, what is the best way to contact them?

Gracias mucho,
Micaela

I know a doctor here in Armenia who works with infectious-communicable eye diseases. She´s the mother of one of my students. Her husband is the only one in the department who does ¨splits¨ for arteries to prevent clogs and blockages, which result in heart attacks and strokes.

I can give you her contact information tomorrow or WED. No school today, it´s a Catholic holiday here in Colombia.

here is what to do Go to Medline

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed

Enter your field of research and the name of a colombian city

Example: Enter Bogota and E.coli and a long list of papers pops up

Choose, for example this:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15678805&query_hl=5&itool=pubmed_docsum

and you will se that the author is working in Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogota. You will also find contact info in this abstract. From this info you can narrow your search or perhaps conctas the authors directly.
