Yes indeed

 

What you want is the Serial library.  If you look in the examples, there are multiple sample sketches that show how to set up serial communication.

 

Half of the task will involve programming the launchpad to process incoming commands and transmit back something useful.  You can debug this step with just a simple terminal session.

 

The second half of the task is interfacing to MATLAB, which will involve setting up a socket connection to the TTY port.  If you google 'matlab serial communication', you will find lots of sample code, as there are multiple ways to go about it, depending on what you need to do.
