Hello and welcome to Business Daily from the BBC. I'm Manuela Saragossa. Coming up, the man who brought a

virus back from the dead. There was certainly controversy over it. People recognize that if you can make

a horsepox, you could make smallpox if you had your evil intent in mind.

Biotechnology is coming along in leaps and bounds.

So is the future of biosecurity as fraught as cyber security as today?

With any technology that has a great potential,

the earlier you can invest in security measures and good practices,

the better off will be. That's all here in Business Daily from the BBC.

This perfumery in central London sells a wide range of scents.

The shelves are stacked with colognes, candles, perfumes.

There's rose, tuberose, jasmine, orange, just so much choice.

The scents on sale here probably do come from the plants and flowers printed on the labels.

But if you take, say, sandalwood, a base scent for many perfumes,

the biotech industry has found ways of replicating its smell without

felling a single slow-growing sandalwood tree. We actually got our start making high-end flavors and

fragrances. So a perfume company would have a particular molecule that's hard to make or very

difficult to make. And we would take a look at that molecule and see if we

could reprogram a yeast or bacterial cell to make that product for them. Patrick Boyle there on

recreating smells. He's head of code base at Ginko Biowowowowow Works, a company based in Boston

that's at the heart of a biotech industrial revolution. Here's how it works. We design and sell engineered organisms.

So the way to think about that is that we have a platform that uses robotics and software

to make it easier and faster to engineer biological systems.
