REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM 10-12G Other Market Opportunities, page 9 1. Please identify the parties with whom you have entered into the two funded proof of concept research collaborations and file the agreements as exhibits. Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and that Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K requires, among other things, that a registrant file as an exhibit any agreement “not made in the ordinary course of business which is material to the registrant”, as well as any agreement, regardless of whether or not such agreement is ordinary course, upon which the registrant’s business is “substantially dependent”, unless immaterial in amount or significance. The Company respectfully submits that the proof of concept research collaborations do not meet the requirements of Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and therefore are not required to be filed as an exhibit. In addition, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company believes that the above referenced proof of concept collaborations are not material to the Company’s business.

General Comments 4. Please be advised that your registration statement will automatically become effective 60 days after the initial filing date. Upon effectiveness, you will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, even if we have not cleared comments. If you do not wish to incur those obligations until you have cleared comments, you may wish to consider withdrawing your registration statement before it becomes effective automatically and submitting a new registration statement when you respond to our comments. Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and confirm that we are aware that the Form 10-12G will become effective by operation of law 60 days from the initial filing, and that, following effectiveness, the Company will be responsible for filing reports required by Section 13 of the Exchange Act of 1934, even if the Staff has not completed the review process of the filing. 5. We note that your forum selection provision identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any “derivative action.” Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the governing documents states this clearly.
