To use Conda you must first load the anaconda module:
module load anaconda
Create an empty conda environment to install biopython:
conda-env-mod create -n biopython
Now activate the biopython environment:

The --channel option specifies that it searches the anaconda channel for the biopython package. The -y argument is optional and allows you to skip the installation prompt. A list of packages will be displayed as they are installed.
Remember to add the following lines to your job submission script to use the custom environment in your jobs:
module load anaconda
module load use.own
module load conda-env/biopython-py3.8.5
