Certain biotechnologies have the potential to facilitate pathogen engineering, increasing the risk of large-scale biological events, e.g., major pandemics. This article assesses the dual-use potential of viral engineering using the example of oncolytic viruses. It also offers recommendations for managing the biosecurity risks associated with this research.
