Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail In 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 ( - 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.
