Hi everyone,
This Wednesday, CHTC is hosting an exciting hands-on tutorial on running AlphaFold3 on CHTC
as part of the Bioinformatics Cafà series:
ð Hands-On
Tutorial - Running AlphaFold3 on CHTC
ð Wednesday, February 11, 2026
ð 2:30 â 4:30 PM CT
ð Morgridge Hall, Room 3610 â 1205 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53715 (Room map attached)
This session is designed for researchers who want to run AlphaFold3 on CHTC â from single-protein predictions to larger, scalable structural biology workflows without needing to manage local GPUs or large databases yourself.
The event will include:
-
A focused tutorial on using AlphaFold3 with CHTC resources (2:30 â 3:30 PM)
-
An open co-working session with facilitators (3:30 â 4:30 PM) to help you get hands-on experience and work on your own projects alongside peers or chat more about AlphaFold3.
Who should attend:
-
Structural biologists and bioinformaticians interested in using AlphaFold3
-
Researchers modeling complexes, multimers, or variants
-
Anyone looking to scale beyond single-machine or local GPU runs
-
Those interested in reproducible, high-throughput protein modeling workflows
No prior experience with CHTC is required, though familiarity with AlphaFold concepts will be helpful. You can follow along or just watch, if you'd prefer.
This event is open to any UWâMadison researchers and is hosted in-conjunction with our
monthly Bioinformatics Cafà series â
a relaxed, community-focused space combining mini-tutorials with dedicated co-working time.
Running this tutorial requires the AlphaFold3 model weights. Requested AlphaFold3 Weights?
Make sure to upload your parameter file to your CHTC home directory once you receive it!
Donât have your model weights yet? Join us and watch! We will make all the materials available used in the tutorial for you to follow along later at home once you have the model weights.
Hope to see you there!
Your CHTC team
