The institute just announced the gift, though it was made by Dr. Springer, his wife and his children at the end of 2020. 

Dr. Springer has a net worth of about $1.9 billion and launched the institute in 2017 with a $40 million donation. 

IPI focuses on providing antibodies and protein-based tools to the scientific community. 

Dr. Springer earned his wealth as a founding investor in Moderna, which he owned 5 percent of when it went public in 2018. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
