MedImmune automated flow cytometry analysis in MATLAB, cutting turnaround from weeks to minutes.
Manual flow cytometry analysis was slow and inconsistent across researchers. MedImmune built FAST FACS in MATLAB in three weeks, producing statistics and Word reports that feed electronic lab notebooks. The page reports analysis down from weeks to minutes, standardised methods across MedImmune and AstraZeneca, and 10 years of equivalent work saved in the first six months.
MathWorks makes MATLAB and Simulink, used by pharma and medical device teams for modelling, machine learning and regulated device software development
This sits in the Build stage of the AI use-case lifecycle: Named examples from the foundation-model labs and platforms pharma teams use to actually construct, train and generate the model or application.
