1. A method for using biological material to discriminate an agent, comprising the steps of:

  • a. constructing a matrix of biological signatures having a plurality of elements, wherein each element represents a biological signature of one of a plurality of cells in response to an agent, each biological signature being one of a plurality of measurable quantities, and wherein the matrix has a dimension of N×

    M, N being the total number of the plurality of cells and M being the total number of the plurality of measurable quantities;

    b. exposing at least one of the plurality of cells to an agent;

    c. measuring the measurable quantities of the at least one of the plurality of cells responsive to the agent;

    d. comparing the measured measurable quantities of the at least one of the plurality of cells responsive to the agent with the corresponding biological signatures of the matrix of biological signatures; and

    e. identifying the agent from the comparison.
