James S. Krause, PhD

Distinguished University Professor
Medical University of South Carolina
Charleston, South Carolina, United States

Motivated by his own SCI at age 16, Dr. James S. Krause has committed his adult life to research to better understand and improve the long-term consequences of SCI, MS, and other disabling conditions. His career has focused on research to help us understand the ever-changing challenges faced by people with SCI and other disabling conditions, and his focus includes secondary health conditions, aging, health behaviors, longevity, and outcomes that evolve over time rather than remain static. Dr. Krause holds the rank of Distinguished University Professor and serves as Associate Dean for Research in the College of Health Professions at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). He currently serves as principal investigator on three different disability rehabilitation research projects (DRRP), including a 50-year longitudinal study of participation after SCI, a 25-year study of opioids and health outcomes after SCI, and a study of quality employment after MS, SCI, and stroke. He has authored or co-authored over 260 publications and has made 325 presentations at national and international conferences.
