Business Overview, page 1

1. We note your disclosure here that the July 8, 2022 amendment “supersedes” the previous license. However, Exhibit 10.7 indicates that the 2018 Licensing Agreement with John Hopkins University is not fully superseded by the July 8, 2022 amendment. Please revise accordingly, or advise. Please also file the 2018 Licensing Agreement entered into with John Hopkins University as an exhibit to your registration statement.

Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure to state that the July 8, 2022 amendment provides the Company with new intellectual property and also encompasses most of the intellectual property from the February 2018 license. In addition, the Company has filed the 2018 Licensing Agreement with John Hopkins University as exhibit 10.5 in Amendment No. 3.
