Baldwin Immunology Scholars

In Partnership with Sun Pharma

Dr. Rollin Baldwin, a distinguished World War II naval officer and international educator, was the founding chair of the Baldwin School of Puerto Rico, an International Baccalaureate Continuum World School. He established the school after advocating for innovative educational approaches, having previously founded a similar institution in New York in 1948. With support from notable figures, including Dr. Walter Anderson of NYU and Governor Luis A. Ferré, Dr. Baldwin formulated the school's guiding philosophy in 1964.

Dr. Baldwin's contributions to education continue through the accomplishments of his daughter, Dr. Hilary Baldwin, a prominent figure in dermatology education. Although Dr. Baldwin passed away in 2016, his legacy lives on through the success of the Baldwin School of Puerto Rico.

In tribute to his vision, we celebrate the inaugural Baldwin Immunology Scholars, supported by a partnership with Sun Pharma. These scholars are dedicated to advancing patient care and self-improvement in the field.
