Recce Pharmaceuticals’ synthetic approach to combatting AMR
As antimicrobial resistance continues to advance, novel therapeutics are needed that stop infection and do not contribute to resistance. Australian biotech Recce Pharmaceuticals is paving the way for a new class of synthetic anti-infectives and providing hope for those with resistant infections. Recce’s lead candidate, RECCE® 327 (R327), is a…
