Whether it's the food choices we make here at the VU, protecting our planet from wildfires, improving health by lowering our biological age, improving mobility and vitality of people with spinal cord injuries or landing the worlds first biofuel-powered rocket, the Demonstrator Lab is proud to represent the Dream Teams of the VU.
