Origin of
Recce Pharmaceuticals
Recce (pronounced Re-Key) originates from the military term ‘Reconnaissance’ as a military tactic – ‘the aggressive assessment of the disposition of the enemy’. In other words, get troops behind enemy lines, identify the enemy, eliminate the threat, and escape without being noticed.
We have adopted this approach to anti-infectives, where they are designed to:
- Enter the human body;
- Find the infection and threat (deadly bacteria and viruses);
- Eliminate the threat; and
- Exit without being noticed (side effects)
Dr Graham Melrose
Recce Pharmaceuticals was founded by Dr Graham Melrose, a former Executive Director and Head of Research at Johnson & Johnson Asia Pacific and Australia. Building upon his early, independent research, Recce Pharmaceuticals was formed.
