He has served on the MAAS Executive Board Committee since 2004 and served as President from 2008-2009.
Dr. Baldwin is nationally recognized for being the first physician-researcher in the United States to describe carmine allergy/anaphylaxis and has worked with the Food and Drug Administration to change labeling regulations, which now require carmine to be labeled by name on food labels. In addition to carmine allergy, his research is focused on aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease. Dr. Baldwin has a wide range of clinical interests that include allergic rhinitis, allergies, anaphylaxis, angioedema, asthma, drug allergies, hay fever, hives, immune deficiencies, nasal allergy, nasal polyposis, and sinusitis.
