Dr. Baldwin's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscle adaptations to hormonal and activity manipulations. Specifically, his research focuses on how loading states and mechanical stress, including the environment of microgravity, regulate the expression of striated muscle myosin isoforms. Dr. Baldwin's research is funded by both the NIH and NASA. He has been involved in four previous NASA spaceflight missions including the Space Life Sciences I and II. He is presently an investigator on the upcoming Neurolab Mission. Dr. Baldwin chairs the NASA Life Sciences Advisory Subcommittee and serves as a member of the Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications Advisory Committee and the NASA/NIH Biomedical and Behavioral Subcommittee. Currently, Dr. Baldwin is chairing a NASA task force to review the status and future of the Countermeasures Program within NASA to insure the safety and welfare of Astronauts during exposure to microgravity environments.
