After residency training in Neuroradiology in Aachen with Prof. Armin Thron, he completed a neurointerventional fellowship with Professor Pierre Lasjaunias in Paris, France and subsequently joined the Neuroradiology division of the University of Toronto as a diagnostic and interventional Neuroradiologist in 2008. In Toronto he served as Fellowship Director between 2010 and 2024 and as Division Head from 2016 to 2021 and was cross appointed as a Full Professor of Radiology and Neurosurgery and as an interventional Neuroradiologist at the Hospital for Sick Children. He held the David Braley and Nancy Gordon Chair in Interventional Neuroradiology at the University of Toronto until he resigned in 2024 to become the Chair of Neurointerventional Radiology at the Lahey Clinic and Director of the Cerebrovascular Center at Beth Israel Laehy Health in Boston, MA. He is a Full Professor of Radiology at the TH Chan School of Medicine of the University of Massachusetts and is cross-appointed as an Adjunct Professor to the Texas Children's Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Krings has vast experience in both diagnostic and interventional Neuroradiology and is able to cover the entire spectrum of Interventional Neuroradiology including pediatric and adult patients. He has trained more than 40 fellows over his career, many of which are now in leading positions all over the world including the US, Canada, Switzerland, France, Netherlands, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and China. Focusing his research efforts on Imaging and Treatment of Neurovascular Diseases in particular in HHT, Dr. Krings has published more than 550 peer reviewed articles, and he authored four major textbooks on interventional neuroradiology, neurovascular anatomy, neurovascular diseases and Stroke. Dr. Krings’s leadership in the field of Neuroradiology is bolstered by his distinguished grants and awards, including the Scientific Award of the European Society of Neuroradiology, the Lucien Appel Prize, and the Founders Award in Interventional Neuroradiology of the ESNR. For the development of the Neuroradiology Program in Toronto he won the Anderson Award of the Wightman-Berris Academy and was granted the Edward Lansdown Award for outstanding teaching in the Residency Program of the University of Toronto and the Gold Medal of the British Society of Neuroradiology for lifetime achievements in Interventional Neuroradiology.
