Spring 2026 Sessions:

• January 21 â Special Coworking & Office Hours Session
• February 11 â Structural Biology using AlphaFold3 on CHTC
• March 11 â Installing Bioinformatics Software with Conda and Containers on CHTC
• April 8 â Genome Assembly using High-Memory Nodes on CHTC

The Bioinformatics Cafàis a monthly, informal space for researchers to learn practical bioinformatics skills, explore CHTC resources, and get hands-on help with their own workflows. Each session includes a short tutorial followed by open coworking and office-hours time with Research Computing Facilitators.

These sessions are open to researchers at all experience levels, from those just getting started with research computing to advanced users looking to scale up analyses. Newcomers are welcome!

Note: For returning Cafà participants, the Cafà has moved to the new Morgridge Hall (right next to the Discovery Building). We've attached a copy of the 3^rd floor map to the new Cafà classroom to help you find it more easily! 

More details will be shared closer to each session on our Bioinformatics Cafà resources page. Feel free to come with questions, data, or just curiosity.

Questions? Contact chtc@xxxxxxxxxxx.

We hope to see you there this spring!

Your CHTC Research Computing Facilitators
