  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BIODOSIMETRY WITH BIOCHIP USING GENE EXPRESSION SIGNATURES
    Publication number: 20080176755
    Abstract: 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.
