SPRING POINT PROJECT

Spring Point Project (founded 2004) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates a biosecure Source Animal Facility to breed and raise designated pathogen-free (DPF) pigs and to produce clinically suitable porcine tissues for islet xenotransplantation research aimed at curing Type 1 diabetes. The organization supplies DPF, medical‑grade porcine materials and operates on-site cellular manufacturing and quality systems to support preclinical studies and preparation for phase I/II clinical activities. Spring Point Project maintains a donor-facing fundraising presence and public web resources for supporters and families affected by Type 1 diabetes. Recent years have seen continued facility operations, scaled production of DPF animals and porcine islets, and active collaboration with academic and industry partners to enable clinical translation of islet xenotransplantation approaches.
