Dr. Krieger has presented original work at AAN, CMSC, ACTRIMS, and ECTRIMS and has written review articles on and lectures nationally about MS with an emphasis on understanding disease course and emerging therapies. In 2015 Dr. Krieger proposed the Topographical Model of MS, a new conceptualization of MS disease course that was accepted for presentation at several national/international meetings, was the cover article of the October 2016 issue of Neurology: Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation, and was the subject of an article in Scientific American. An iPad app version of this work called "MS Topography", designed for patient and clinician education, is available at no charge on the Apple App Store for iPad.
