know-how and other intellectual property that may not be patentable, or that we believe is best protected by means that do not require
public disclosure. For example, we require our employees to execute confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment relationships
with us, and to disclose and assign to us inventions conceived in connection with their services to us. However, there can be no assurance
that these agreements will be enforceable or that they will provide us with adequate protection. We also seek to preserve the integrity
and confidentiality of our data, trade secrets and know-how by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic
security of our information technology systems.

may be unable to obtain, maintain and protect the intellectual property rights necessary to conduct our business, and may be subject
to claims that we infringe or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others, which could materially harm our business.

Matters

We
are subject to various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures, the handling,
use, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. Our operations involve
the use of potentially hazardous and flammable materials, including chemicals and biological materials. Our operations also produce hazardous
waste products. Although we generally contract with third parties for the operations that involve the disposal of hazardous materials
and wastes, we cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. Based on information currently available to
us, we do not expect environmental costs and contingencies to have a material adverse effect on us. However, we could incur substantial
costs as a result of violations of or liabilities under environmental requirements in connection with our operations or property, including
fines, penalties and other sanctions, investigation and cleanup costs and third-party claims. In the event of contamination or injury
resulting from our use of hazardous materials, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our
resources. See Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Healthcare Laws and Other Legal Compliance Matters - Violations
of or liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws and regulations could subject us to fines, penalties or other costs that
could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.”
