Dr. Branch's current interests can be broken down into 4 main areas:

• Signaling involving c-Src


• Signaling in HIV/AIDS pathogenesis and disease resistance


• Signaling abnormalities in the immune response following Rh immune prophylaxis and other IVIg prophylatic therapies


• Mechanism of IVIG effect in autoimmune inflammatory diseases

More specifically, Dr. Branch is now working on the following:

• The function of pp60c-src and Pyk2 in HIV infection


• The role of signaling through the VPAC family of neuroendocrine receptors on HIV/AIDS infection and resistance to infection


• Drug discovery for small molecular weight molecules that block HIV fusion


• Identification of novel treatment modalities for HIV/AIDS


• The signaling pathways used by HIV for its early stages of its life cycle


• The mechanism of IVIG treatment for autoimmune inflammatory diseases


• Drug discovery for small molecular weight molecules that inhibit phagocytosis


• The mechanism of anti-D immune prophylaxis and treatment of ITP
