The Xenotransplantation Association

The Xenotransplantation Association is an organization dedicated to advancing research and clinical applications of xenotransplantation—transplanting organs or tissues between different species, such as from pigs to humans. Its goal is to improve the safety, effectiveness, and understanding of these complex procedures, which could help address organ shortages. The association fosters collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and regulatory bodies to develop ethical and scientific standards, ensuring that xenotransplantation progresses responsibly and benefits patients in need of transplant options.
