Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned registrant, Lantern Pharma Inc. (the “Registrant”), hereby requests that the Commission take appropriate action to cause the Registration Statement to become effective on June 10, 2024, at 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, or as soon as practicable thereafter, or at such later time as the Registrant may orally request via telephone call to the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”).

In connection with this request, the Registrant acknowledges that:

● | the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and |
● | the Registrant may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
Very truly yours, | ||
