1.
We
note your response to comments 3 and 7 and your revised disclosure here that Thomas Terwilliger has served as your Chief Operating
Officer, Treasurer and Secretary since September 5, 2023. We further note that in your response letter dated August 17, 2023 you
stated that, with respect to Exhibit A of Exhibit 10.10, which was your Consulting Agreement with The Fannon Group, Mr. Terwilliger
was included in "a list of Company contacts" that included "certain of its consultants" with whom The Fannon
Group would interact. Please revise your disclosure here to discuss Mr. Terwilliger's experience with the company prior to his being
chosen to serve as an executive officer. Refer to Item 401(e)(1) of Regulation S-K.
Please
be advised that the disclosure has been revised, in response to this comment.
2.
We
note the disclosure that Mr. Terwilliger "has founded and sold many start-up businesses to NYSE and NASDAQ publicly traded companies
such as MCI, Times Mirror Publishing, ICG Corp., and Espire." Please revise to remove the implication that businesses were "sold
to NYSE and NASDAQ." Also, if you include the names of publicly traded companies, please clarify the company names and include
the respective ticker symbols. Last, describe the boards of the "numerous financial, Internet, Telephone and R&D companies"
that Mr. Terwilliger served on which you generally referred to on page 47.
Please
be advised that the disclosure has been revised, in response to this comment.

Compensation, page 49

We
note your response to comment 3 and your revised disclosure here and on page 52 discussing the employment agreements you have entered
into with Dr. Hausman and Mr. Terwilliger. Please revise your disclosure here to reflect that you now have three instead of one named
executive officer. Please also clarify whether the employment agreement entered into with Anne Blackstone in June 2022 to serve as
Chief Executive Officer has been terminated and/or amended in connection with Dr. Hausman's appointment as CEO on September 5, 2023
and related changes to Ms. Blackstone's position as an executive and director of the company.
Please
be advised that the disclosure has been revised to refer to the Company’s having three named executive officers, in response to
this comment.
Please
be further advised that, where relevant, the disclosure has been revised to include a reference to Ms. Blackstone’s employment
agreement having been amended to remove CEO duties from her responsibilities, in response to this comment.
