AI & Machine Learning for Biomedical and Materials Research
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) enable the extraction of meaningful patterns from complex, multi-dimensional scientific datasets, transforming raw experimental data into predictive, actionable insight. These approaches support modeling of toxicity, mechanical and thermal behavior, biological responses, image features, chemical signatures, degradation pathways, and material performance across biomedical and advanced materials applications.
At Materials Metric, AI and ML for Biomedical and Materials Research are integrated with experimental data generated from microscopy (SEM, TEM, CLSM), spectroscopy (FTIR, Raman, NMR), mechanical testing, chemical analysis, biological assays, and stability studies. This combined framework accelerates discovery, reduces experimental burden, and improves decision-making by enabling outcome prediction, automated image analysis, formulation optimization, and data-driven design of materials, devices, diagnostics, and biomaterial systems.
