The present invention describes methods for carrying out experiments on living cells, including making measurements of the operation transcriptional regulatory processes and indicators of the kinds of processes operating in the cell in response to external stimuli. Image analysis allows for gathering data concerning the flow of information through a cell's genomic regulatory network as it is executing a programmatic change in its activities as a function of said stimuli. The method also allows collection of data of the results of the information-processing in the cell by observing the decisions the cell makes when modulating cellular process activities.

Exposure to ionizing radiation can produce a well-defined dose dependent signature in terms of changes in gene expression. In approaches and devices described herein, such a signature can be used to generate and use a self-contained radiation biodosimeter device, based on, for example, a blood finger stick. Various aspects of the invention are directed to biodosimetry with a fully integrated biochip using gene expression signatures.
