This page describes the collection of Healthcare and Life Sciences software on HiperGator. Artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML), has the potential to revolutionize human health and medical research by enabling software to learn from past examples and make informed decisions in life sciences. Research Computing AI Support team will assist in developing and refining advanced models for various tasks in healthcare and life science, including medical image analysis, disease detection, and genomic data interpretation, through support requests or consulting.

Deep Learning Frameworks

There are preinstalled and configured environments on HiPerGator for the most frequently used deep learning frameworks including tensorflow, pytorch, and MxNet. The available deep learning frameworks can be queried using

 module spider [pytorch/tensorflow/mxnet] 

Users can also customize their own conda environment following this tutorial: Managing Python environments and Jupyter kernels

Domain Specific Frameworks and Tools for Healthcare and Life Sciences

Below are several frameworks and tools that are configured for training your deep learning models on HiPerGator-AI.

  • AlphaFold: AlphaFold is an AI software developed by DeepMind that predicts protein structures. It uses deep learning algorithms to predict protein structures with remarkable accuracy, down to atomic levels. The software constructs an initial model, iteratively refines it, and produces a 3D model of the protein. The final output includes 3D coordinates for every non-hydrogen atom in the protein, along with confidence levels for each amino acid residue.
    • Use the command below to list the available versions on HiPerGator-AI.
    • module spider alphafold


  • Bionemo: NVIDIA BioNeMo is a generative AI platform for drug discovery that simplifies and accelerates the training of models using your own data and scaling the deployment of models for drug discovery applications.
