We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration between 6D.Varsity and Tiny Earth, an international network headquartered at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID), University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Spearheaded by Mr. Srikanth Talluri, Founder Chair of 6D.Varsity, this partnership aims to bring cutting-edge, student-powered antibiotic drug discovery training and research programs to schools and colleges across India.

Founded by Dr. Jo Handelsman – Director of WID, former Associate Director for Science at the White House OSTP, and a leading expert in microbial diversity – Tiny Earth empowers students to address the global crisis of antibiotic resistance through hands-on research and mentorship.

This collaboration will:

• Establish Tiny Earth Chapters across India under the 6D.Varsity framework

• Launch the School of Antibiotic Research (SoAR) initiative

• Provide expert training to educators and researchers

• Connect Indian students to a global network of young scientists

  
  

The 6D–Tiny Earth collaboration is a bold step toward building a purpose-driven scientific workforce ready to solve real-world challenges through collaborative, meaningful research.
