During the COVID-19 pandemic, “makers” have come together to design, 3D print, and distribute medical supplies.

Join the NIH Library and the Office of Data Science Strategy, in celebrating Pi Day—a day early, on Friday, March 13th. 

This free service features bioinformatics consulting, training, analysis tools and databases hosted on high-performance computing workstations in the NIH Library and other open sources in NIH.

The NIH Library Bioinformatics Support Program is presenting a Genome Assemblies and Annotation at NCBI class on Thursday, October 19, 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. in the NIH Library training room, Building 10.

​​​NIH and HHS staff are invited to attend the Data Visualization Community of Practice (CoP) meeting on February 10, organized by the NIH Library Technology Hub team.

Blender is a powerful, open source program that allows a wide range of creative work. This free class will focus on how to use Blender to create 3D models that can be printed on one of the NIH Library’s 3D printers.

The NIH Library Bioinformatics Support Program has organized a GeneSpring 13.1 training class for January 5. This free training will be held in the NIH Library Training Room, Building 10, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., which includes Tips and Tricks from 1 to 4 p.m. Registration is required.

OmicCircos is a free tool used to generate high-quality circular plots for visualizing annotations and genomic variations, including mutation patterns, copy number variations (CNVs), expression patterns, and methylation patterns.

NIH and HHS staff are invited to attend our quarterly Data Visualization Community of Practice (COP) meeting on Oct 8, from 1 – 2:30 p.m., EDT.

Through the NIH Library’s Technology Sandbox, a 2014 trial of 3D printers exposed NIH staff to cutting edge technology for work and research. The pilot was so successful that the Library is now permanently offering free 3D printing services. ​​
