MATLAB does not offer any mechanism to communicate with USB hubs.

If the device you need to communicate with operates as a virtual serial port, then MATLAB will attempt to use the manufacturer's device driver to communicate with the device using serial port objects.

You should be able to find some Matlab File Exchange entries for communication with a PIC via serial (as Walter suggests above).
