Biographical details
Dr Martin Krause received his medical degree from one of the most prestigious and oldest Medical Schools in the world - the University of Heidelberg, which was founded in 1386.
He started his training in Neurology in 1995 at the Neurology Department of the University Hospitals Heidelberg, Germany under the mentorship of Prof Werner Hacke a world leader in stroke therapy.
He finalized his medical these and received the Dr. Med. with magna cum laude on the topic of diagnostic accuracy of telemedicine and picture archiving and communication systems in 1997.
Dr Krause’s main focus of research was initially movement disorders. He was so fortunate to work together with the neurosurgeon Prof Volker Tronnier. Dr Tronnier was a pioneer of functional neurosurgery and deep brain stimulation (DBS). This research group explored DBS for dystonia which proved to be the first effective therapy in generalized dystonia. Dr Krause was founding member of the German Parkinson Competence Network, which linked clinical research institutions in Europe together and enabled large-scale clinical trials. In this group the first randomized controlled trial of DBS proved the effectiveness of DBS for Parkinson’s disease and different types of dystonia.
He had extensive training in neurophysiology and Botox therapy under the mentorship of Prof HM Meinck who had a special interest in stiff-man disease and functional disorders. Dr Krause was accredited as board certified neurophysiologist in 2001.
He further engaged in 2 years of neuro-critical care training in the largest neurological Intensive Care Unit.
Very early on Dr Krause was involved in acute stroke treatment and participated in all three ECASS trials, which led to the first effective therapy for acute stroke. He completed his training with neurovascular ultrasound training in 2005.
Following the comprehensive German specialist exit exam Dr Krause was registered as board certified Neurologists and Neurophysiologist in 2005.
He represented over 1000 physicians and surgeons in Heidelberg in the staff council. He was part of a small group negotiating new employment terms for doctors abandoning 36 hours shifts and standardizing training streams.
In 2007 Dr Krause accepted an offer as Associated Professor of Medicine by the University of Sydney as a full time medical academic. He was part of the Nepean Clinical School. He furthered the acute stroke service in Nepean Hospital and introduced transcranial ultrasound to diagnostic repertoire of neurovascular ultrasound in Nepean.
In 2011 Dr Krause was appointed as Stroke Unit Head in Royal North Shore Hospital and Neuroscience Director for the Northern Sydney Local Health District.
In 2015 he was appointed Head of Department of Neurology at Royal North Shore Hospital.
He has authored 45 peer-reviewed publications of which three were in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine.
He has received numerous prizes for his work both nationally and internationally and is a frequent presenter at national and international conference and scientific meetings.
Dr Krause is a member of the strategic working party of the Agency of Clinical Innovation and the State-wide Stroke Service. He is a member of the Stroke Society of Australasia and the Stroke Research Network.
He is a member of the American Heart Association, the German Society of Neurology as well as the Australian New-Zealand Association of Neurologists.
