Speaking at the launch of Eco Bio Block (EBB), a cluster of volcanic porous rocks infused with active microbes, by Chennai-based biotech firm Ariake, he said all 'basic research should be applied for the welfare of the society and efforts are needed to make new products commercially viable, besides educating the public on the benefits of the new technologies that are sustainable for all in the long run'.
