How to mimic the assembly of trees in engineering?

Meet prof. Pedro Fadrim, a leading expert in topochemical engineering at KU Leuven with 9 years of industry experience in Brazil,. Topochemical engineering is a way to understand and mimic the bioassembly and 3D architecture present in natural systems, such as trees, plants and microorganisms. This has a number of interesting applications in healthcare, such as the biofabrication of Taxol, the best-selling cancer drug!
