Matterworks

AI-powered MaaS for metabolomics data

Overview

Matterworks applies artificial intelligence to metabolomics to make mass spectrometry data easier to analyze. It offers a model-as-a-service platform that lets researchers identify and quantify metabolites from raw data, using its Large Spectral Model (LSM) to interpret molecular-omic information. Its Pyxis product provides turn-key, near real-time metabolite profiling, reducing analysis time and enabling faster decision-making in therapeutic research, biomanufacturing, crop science, and animal health. By delivering end-to-end AI for omics data, Matterworks aims to lower costs and broaden access to advanced metabolomics, helping life sciences R&D move from data to actionable insight more quickly.
