Scientists and engineers in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries use MATLAB and Simulink for multidisciplinary data analysis and end-to-end workflows.
With MATLAB, scientists and engineers can:
- Hybridize data from many data streams, including signal, image, text, and genetic
- Optimize pharmaceutical production through process engineering
- Perform modeling and simulation for drug discovery and development
- Design, implement, and deploy code to control new medical devices
- Create automatic output reports in Adobe Acrobat, or Microsoft Word and PowerPoint file formats
“Pfizer is integrating modeling, simulation, and statistical analysis throughout drug discovery and development. This approach helps reduce phase II attrition by guiding the selection of the best biological pathway, target, molecule, dosing regimen, and patient population.”
Dr. Piet van der Graaf, Pfizer
Using MATLAB and Simulink for Biotech and Pharmaceutical
Biomedical and Health Data Analysis
Using MATLAB, scientists and analysts can:
- Explore and clean data sets in biotech and pharmaceutical research
- Use app-based workflows to develop streamlined analysis schemes, and then scale and deploy the schemes in the cloud
- Synthesize multimodal data sources, including signal, image, date, device, genetic, and Internet of Things to build predictive analytical models
- Parallelize analysis to any number of computational nodes using nearly identical syntax as desktop approaches to scale from desktop development to high-performance computing clusters
