Welcome to Schuylkill Small Worlds Tiny Earth Program (SWTEP).
We hunt for antibiotic producing bacteria in the soil, in an effort to discover new antibiotics. We also use our knowledge to spread the word about antibiotic resistance and hope our efforts help to fight it. All researchers in the program are students (lead by one wonderful fearless instructor) and we are full of Penn State Schuylkill Pride.
Come follow us on our journey. We hope you learn something along the way.
