Matrix Science announced that it has strengthened its commitment to the growing Japanese proteomics market by establishing a new subsidiary, Matrix Science KK.

"Japanese science is exceptionally strong in proteomics technologies, especially mass spectrometry", said John Cottrell, one of the founders of Matrix Science. "This has made Japan a very important market for our software, consistently representing some 30 per cent of our worldwide business. By establishing Matrix Science KK, we can provide a higher level of service to our present and future customers."

The establishment of Matrix Science KK was greatly assisted by The Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) - a Japanese government-funded organisation that promotes inward investment.

Matrix Science develops and markets bioinformatics products and services in the fields of mass spectrometry and proteomics.
