Origin of
Recce Pharmaceuticals
Recce (pronounced Re-Khey) 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.
- 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.
