1. Please revise your Prospectus Summary Overview to provide context
and balance to your discussion of your platform and AI-engine. For instance, please highlight, if true, that you have a limited operating

Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Prospectus Summary Overview has been updated.
2. Please revise to explain your basis for making all performance
and leadership claims, including the following ones:
· Your belief that you “lead the field with (y)our patented AI-engine uncovering ‘hard to develop’ molecules;”
· Your “groundbreaking EngageTx™ technology enables (you) to target bi-specific molecules;”

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the
Company has revised the disclosure in the Amendment.

File No. 333-236735
Gentlemen:
On behalf of iBio, Inc. (the “Company”
or “iBio”), set forth below is our response to the comments raised by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) in its letter dated March 10, 2020 regarding the Company’s Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (the “Form S-3”). For the Commission’s convenience, the Company has included the text of the comments
below with the Company’s response immediately following.
Coverpage
1. Comment:
It appears that you are relying on General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. If true, please revise your prospectus cover page to
disclose the calculation of the aggregate market value of your outstanding voting and nonvoting common equity and the amount of
all securities offered pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes,
the date of the prospectus. Refer to Instruction 7 to General Instruction I.B.6. Otherwise, please provide us your analysis demonstrating
your eligibility to use Form S-3.
Response: Please
be advised that we are not relying on General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. As of February 28, 2020, the filing date of the
Form S-3, the aggregate market value of iBio’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately
$76,871,281 based on 97,091,972 shares of outstanding common stock, of which 8,734,177 shares were held by affiliates, at a
price of $0.87 per share, which was the last reported trading price of iBio’s common stock on NYSE American on February
27, 2020. Furthermore, as of March 13, 2020, the filing date of Amendment
No. 1 to the Form S-3, the aggregate market value of iBio’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately
$132,421,925 based on 101,336,922 shares of outstanding common stock, of which 8,734,177 shares were held by affiliates, at a price
of $1.43 per share, which was the last reported trading price of iBio’s common stock on NYSE American on March 12, 2020.
Description of Debt Securities, page

2. Comment:
We note that you are registering debt securities and that the prospectus and legal opinion reference indentures. Please amend
your registration statement to file a form of indenture as an exhibit to your filing. For further guidance, refer to Interpretation
201.02 and 201.04 of our Trust Indenture Act of 1939 Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Response:
We have elected not to register debt securities and have amended the Form S-3 and revised our prospectus to remove all references
to debt securities.

We refer to your February 3, 2020 press release concerning your collaboration with Beijing CC-Pharming Ltd. to develop and
test a new 2019-nCoV vaccine to be manufactured using your FastPharming System (TM). Accordingly, please revise the prospectus
to address corporate developments concerning the coronavirus, or explain why this information is not material to investors. In
addition, please disclose the material terms of the collaboration agreement referenced in your February 3 press release and file
it as an exhibit to your filing, or explain why it is not material to an investment decision.
Response: The
Master Joint Development Agreement (the “MJDA”) between the Company and Beijing CC-Pharming Ltd.
(“BCCP”), dated August 8, 2018 and the Statement of Work 2 (the “SOW”), dated as of February 6, 2020,
have been filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the Commission on March 13, 2020 (the
“Form 8-K”) and is incorporated by reference in Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-3. Certain information that is not
material to the Company was redacted because it would cause competitive harm to the Company if publicly disclosed. The
redacted material includes technical information and matters of proprietary business strategy.
The Company’s
normal business includes development of biopharmaceuticals for its own account and work for or collaboration with other parties
for the development, testing and manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, both preventive and therapeutic, against diseases. The relationship
with BCCP began in 2018 and initially focused on the development of an oncology biosimilar or bio-better drug and license and transfer
of the Company’s proprietary technology for drug development and manufacture to BCCP for use only in China. The two companies
also began evaluation and planning to eventually add additional product candidates to their collaboration to jointly develop additional
commercial opportunities. When the coronavirus problems emerged in China, BCCP sought to extend the collaboration with the Company
to development and testing of coronavirus vaccine candidates. BCCP was aware that the Company’s technology and facility were
designed to rapidly address threats from pandemic diseases and bioterrorism. As disclosed in the February 3, 2020 press release
issued by the Company, BCCP and the Company entered into a collaboration on the development and testing of vaccine candidates against
coronavirus that was rapidly spreading in China. Although the contemplated collaborative effort has just begun and not yet progressed
in any material respect, the Company’s separate activities have resulted in the development of possible vaccine candidates
based upon the Company’s own technology and its proprietary adjuvant. Four provisional patents for those candidates were
filed in the United States on March 11, 2020, which was also disclosed on the Form 8-K.

To facilitate the staff’s review, we have set forth the text of the single comment from each of the two letters in italics, followed by a single response that addresses both comments. If the staff concurs with our proposed revisions to the Registration Statement described in our response, we would promptly thereafter file Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement reflecting those revisions. Comment of February 3, 2011: We note your response to our prior comment 1. You have described why the registration of the resale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock underlying stock options held by private investors to purchase shares currently held by E. Gerald Kay and Carl DeSantis is desirable, but you have not provided a legal analysis supporting your conclusion that registration of such shares is appropriate at this time.

Please provide us with a detailed legal analysis underlying your conclusion that it is appropriate under the federal securities laws to register the resale of these shares before exercise of the option takes place and tell us why it is appropriate generally to register the resale of shares underlying an option not issued by the registrant. Your analysis should identify the legal authority upon which you have relied in reaching your conclusion. Alternatively, please revise your registration statement to remove these shares. Comment of February 10, 2011: We note your statement in your response to our prior comment 1 that "'The Company has encouraged Messrs. Kay and DeSantis to make some of their holdings available for purchase by others and has involved the option holders, affiliates of the placement agent in the Company's recent private offering, to facilitate an efficient distribution of the shares to a variety of other investors particularly including institutional investors." Based on your response, it appears that this transaction is a primary distribution by or on behalf of the company. Accordingly, please revise your filing to register the shares on a form on which you are eligible to conduct a primary offering and identify each of Messrs. Kay and DeSantis, Kobus Investments, LLC and BioMed Investments, LLC as underwriters. Alternatively, please remove Kobus Investments, LLC and BioMed Investments, LLC and their associated shares from the registration statement. The Company concurs with the staff’s view that the Kay/DeSantis option transaction is properly understood as a primary distribution by or on behalf of the Company. In response to the staff’s comment, the Company proposes to amend the Registration Statement to identify each of Messrs. Kay and DeSantis, Kobus Investments, LLC and BioMed Investments, LLC as underwriters, by revising a paragraph in the Plan of Distribution section as follows (new language emphasized): The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares, including, with respect to the option shares described in this prospectus, E. Gerald Kay, Carl DeSantis, Kobus Investments, LLC and BioMed Investments, LLC, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each selling stockholder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities. The amendment to the Registration Statement would also contain appropriate changes not relating directly to the staff’s comments, such as including the Company’s recently filed Quarterly Report on 10-Q in the Information Incorporated by Reference section and other non-substantive changes such as dates. The letter that accompanied the Company’s filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement contained an analysis of the Company’s eligibility to use Form S-3. That analysis was predicated on the entire offering being deemed a secondary offering, before being advised of the staff’s view that the resale of shares underlying the Kay/DeSantis option should be deemed to be a primary offering. However, the Company has concluded that it remains eligible for the use of Form S-3 for the entire offering. With respect to all of the shares included in the Registration Statement other than the option shares, the Company continues to rely on General Instruction I.B.3. to Form S-3 2 (Transactions Involving Secondary Offerings), as detailed in the letter that accompanied the Company’s filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. With respect to the option shares, the Company is separately eligible to use Form S-3 for primary offerings pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. to Form S-3 (Primary Offerings by Certain Registrants), which is available for securities offered for cash by or on behalf of a registrant if the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the registrant is $75 million or more. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 14, 2011 ($4.20), the market value of the 22,390,786 shares that are currently held by non-affiliates would be $94,041,301, above the necessary threshold. Concluding Notes A request for acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement will be submitted by the Company as soon as the SEC has reviewed this letter and the next amendment to the Registration Statement and has advised the Company that no further issues remain outstanding. At the time of the request, the Company will furnish a letter acknowledging the SEC’s position with respect to declaration of effectiveness and staff comments. Should any member of the SEC’s staff have any questions concerning the enclosed materials or desire any further information or clarification in respect of the Registration Statement, please do not hesitate to contact me at (609) 802-6466, or our counsel, Andrew Abramowitz, at (212) 972-8882.

iBio, Inc. – Preliminary Proxy Statement (PRE 14A)
filed October 28, 2010 (No. 000-51325)
Dear Mr. Riedler and Ms. Zukin:
On behalf of iBio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I am responding to your letter of November 5, 2010 regarding the above-captioned filing made by the Company (the “Preliminary Proxy”).
The Company proposes to revise the disclosure in the second paragraph of Proposal 3, on page 14 of the Preliminary Proxy, in response to the Staff’s comment. Below is the original language of this paragraph, followed by the Company’s proposed revision:
Original Language:
The additional shares of common stock that we are seeking authorization for may be used for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time to be necessary or desirable. These purposes may include, without limitation: raising capital through the sale of common stock; acquiring other businesses in exchange for shares of common stock; and attracting and retaining employees by the issuance of additional securities under our incentive compensation plan and other employee equity compensation arrangements.
Revised Language:
We do not have any plans, arrangements or understandings for the newly authorized but unissued shares that will be available following the increase in authorized shares. However, the additional shares of common stock that we are seeking authorization for may be used for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time to be necessary or desirable. These purposes may include, without limitation: raising capital through the sale of common stock; acquiring other businesses in exchange for shares of common stock; and attracting and retaining employees by the issuance of additional securities under our incentive compensation plan and other employee equity compensation arrangements.
On behalf of the Company, I hereby confirm that the Company acknowledges that:
• the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
• staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
• the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
* * *
Kindly address any comments or questions that you may have concerning this letter to me at (212) 972-8882. The Company expected to file a definitive version of its proxy statement this coming Wednesday, November 10, to meet its planned annual meeting schedule, and we would therefore greatly appreciate an expedited review of the proposed revised disclosure.
Very truly yours,
