Bioprinting The Human Body In Wartime | Ukraine’s Medtech Revolution | Denys Gurak, Founder; Kateryna Osetrova, Executive Director; Michael Pluzhnyk, Chief Technology Officer; biodrook

Send us Fan MailIn times of crisis, innovation doesn’t slow down - it accelerates.Over the past several years, Ukraine has become globally recognized for its rapid advances in defense technology - particularly in drones and distributed manufacturing. But alongside that transformation, another revolution has been quietly taking shape: the future of medicine, built under extreme conditions.Today, we’re exploring that frontier through the work of biodrook (https://biodrook.com/en) - a company developing 3D-printed, biodegradable bone implants designed to help the body regenerate itself.And joining me are three of the leaders building that vision.Denys Gurak is the Founder of biodrook and a longtime innovator at the intersection of technology, policy, and defense. Through his work at MITS Capital, he’s been deeply involved in scaling Ukraine’s defense-tech ecosystem and connecting it to global supply chains - bringing a systems-level perspective on how innovation happens under pressure.Kateryna Osetrova is Executive Director for Ukraine at biodrook, with a background spanning stem cells, exosome-based therapies, and regenerative medicine. She brings a deep understanding of how these technologies move from concept to clinical reality - and what it takes to deliver them to patients.Michael Pluzhnyk is biodrook’s Chief Technology Officer, and is leading the engineering and production of these next-generation implants - translating cutting-edge materials science and 3D printing into real-world medical devices now being deployed in Ukraine.Together, they represent something rare: the convergence of vision, biology, and engineering - applied not in ideal conditions, but in one of the most challenging environments imaginable.So this is a conversation about more than just medical technology.It’s about rebuilding the human body.It’s about building systems that can operate under extreme stress.And ultimately, it’s about what the future of medicine looks like when innovation is no longer optional - but necessary.biodrook Video - https://youtu.be/sK2Y_-A17MI?si=fliuc8oSgaqWxGIE#biotech #regenerativemedicine #3dprinting #bioprinting #medtech #futureofmedicine #healthcareinnovation #orthopedics #tissueengineering #biodegradable #startups #ukraine #innovation #science #technology #medicalbreakthrough #healthtech #longevity #deeptech #engineering #biomaterials #venturecapital #defensetech #futuretechSupport the show
