Matterworks is a Somerville, Massachusetts biotech-AI company building foundation models for molecular biology. Its Large Spectral Models (LSMs) are trained on billions of mass spectrometry spectra and read raw molecular signals directly, turning slow, manual mass-spec workflows into automated, untargeted absolute quantitation. Its flagship cloud platform, Pyxis, acts as a predictive omics assistant that converts raw LC-MS data into identified, quantified molecules and biological insight - making mass spectrometry usable by any biologist rather than only specialist analysts.
Newomics is a Berkeley, California biotechnology company building mass spectrometry front-end hardware for precision medicine. Spun out of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, its silicon multinozzle emitter (M3) and MnESI ion source upgrade existing mass spectrometers to deliver microflow robustness with nanospray sensitivity, enabling higher-throughput, higher-sensitivity multiomics across proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, native MS and single-cell analysis. The company sells to pharmaceutical, academic and government labs and co-markets with major instrument vendors like Thermo Fisher Scientific.
