| Registration Statement on Form F-1 |
Dear Ms. Torney, Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Gabor, and Ms. Westbrook:
On behalf of our client, I-Mab, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are filing herewith the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
To facilitate the review by the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”), we have separately delivered to the Staff today five courtesy copies of the Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the draft registration statement on Form F-1 confidentially submitted to the Commission on October 4, 2019, as well as two copies of the filed exhibits. Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company is, concurrently with the filing of the Registration Statement, also filing the draft registration statement and all amendments thereto that were previously submitted for the Staff’s non-public review.
