While a pivot into State-side defence may be surprising for some Recce shareholders, it forms part of a larger strategy that the company is very confident will yield promising results relatively shortly.

The biotech player’s confidence boils down to one thing: It’s “superior” to other options.

“Our compound is statistically significant in its ability to reduce the infections above and beyond the existing forms of treatment, and statistically superior to be able to close those infections or have wound healing,” Recce’s CEO, James Graham, told HotCopper in a Watchlist interview soon after the release.

“It’s a very, very complicated space, and so this is very promising,” he added.

With these results in pocket, RCE is now looking to use its “new hope” to partner with the U.S. Department of Defence and secure more windfall grants; that U.S. defence arm has been calling for companies to help in the space.

There’s a track record set here, too: Recce previously netted a $2M U.S. Army grant.
