Maybe you could look into these CDC listings of Clinical Trials on Lyme Disease. Not pushing anyone to get into a trial, but this could be a be a good way to find out where research is actively being done, and who the researchers are.

Some in the main list of clinical trials are already completed, and some are actively recruiting participants.

I think a valuable nugget is found in these listings, regardless of being completed or ongoing, where the "Contact Person" is listed with their email address and the facility where they are in practice and doing research.

Here is an example listing, and below that is the main listing of all the CDC has listed.

Example listing:
