How new drugs could come from space | Hilde Stenuit | TEDxBrussels

Microgravity helps scientists working in Space lab to design new drugs with a molecular structure of a better quality. Hilde Stenuit works to go beyond the earth's limits! She designs new drugs by cristalizing proteins in a microgravity environment, opening our minds to the future of creating new organs through 3D printing to save lives!

Hilde Stenuit is Principal Scientist at Space Applications Services. She holds a Phd in astrophysics from the KU Leuven. With her experience supporting the European Space Agency in facilitating science in microgravity, Hilde is now at the European forefront of pioneering commercial access to space for research and technologies, for the benefit for us Earthlings. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
