           CIK No. 0001796280

Dear Dr. Chacko:

       We have reviewed your registration statement and have the following
comment. In our
comment, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better
understand your
disclosure.

       Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement
and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comment applies to your facts
and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why
in your
response.

       After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the
information you
provide in response to our comment, we may have additional comments.

Form S-1 filed February 28, 2020

Capitalization, page 83

1.     Please tell us how you determined the inclusion of the 118,301 shares
resulting from the
       early option exercise in the number of shares issued and outstanding was
considered
       appropriate to arrive to the pro forma, and pro forma as adjusted
presentation. You also
       disclose on page 8 that you expect these shares will be outstanding
after the offering.
       However, it appears from your disclosure elsewhere that these are shares
from the future
       exercise of options that are not yet vested and therefore not available
to be
       outstanding. Please revise to clarify this apparent inconsistency.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
