BBC World Service - Business Daily, Business and science: What you need to know about SynBio

We explore the synthetic biology industry, estimated to soon be worth $30bn

In this week’s series focusing on business and science, we start things off by looking at the world of synthetic biology.

The industry is estimated to be worth around $30bn in the next few years, but how is that money actually made?

We speak to businesses across the world to find out how they’ve taken the building blocks of synthetic biology and engineered them into products that we use on a daily basis.
