MATLAB® helps you obtain deeper scientific or clinical insights by giving you the ability to analyze ever increasing amounts of data. Scientists and engineers use MATLAB for experimental approaches such as microscopy and biomedical imaging, electrophysiology, and genomics and next generation sequencing, or for modeling and simulation such as pharmacology and systems biology.
MATLAB enables you to access datasets from a wide variety of sources including databases, custom file formats, and web services; apply leading-edge analysis methods to your signal, image, video, molecular, and other datasets; and automate your experimental or theoretical set-up with customized analysis. With MATLAB, you can:
- Acquire live data from individual instruments, cards, sensors, or internet of things approaches
- Read or write stored data including signals, images, video, and ‘omics data from files, databases, spreadsheets, or via web access
- Manage datasets too large to fit in memory
- Model and simulate biological systems with an intuitive graphical interface or symbolic math
- Refine your models with optimization, curve fitting, and parameter estimation
- Design experiments and characterize results with frequentist or Bayesian statistics or machine learning
- Report results
- Scale up computing to multicore machines and GPUs, clusters and HPC centers, and the cloud
- Collaborate and support teams with a range of deployment options including apps, desktop or web executables, and mobile devices
- Deploy royalty-free integrations with third-party software and programming languages
- Re-use code assets developed and shared by the global scientific community
- Readily automate tasks into pipelines or processes using code that can be shared and evolved
MathWorks also provides training and consulting services to help you or your team become more proficient and complete projects faster.
Because MATLAB and Simulink® toolboxes have been trusted by the global science community for over 30 years, researchers and educators have created a large and diverse collection of domain-specific tools written in MATLAB. Many of these tools are freely available at MathWorks File Exchange, GitHub, or the MathWorks Connections Program.
