There, while he was student, he began working with Prof. Rubens Maciel at the Cardiology Department and decided to pursue a university career in the clinical area.

This opportunity represented a major influence on his later professional career. He then completed his training in cardiovascular physiology with Prof. W.

Covian was not disappointed: Krieger completed his doctoral dissertation at Ribeirão Preto under the supervision of Prof. Covian and quickly matured as a strong scientific leader by himself. Besides heading an internationally reknowned research group on experimental hypertension, he created the department's cardiovascular physiology group, which became a very influential school for many new physiologists in Brazil. As a result, new laboratories headed by Krieger's former pupils were created in several other universities, in Ribeirão Preto, Sao Paulo and São Paulo (city) redirect here. ...São Paulo, History of Belo Horizonte The metropolis was once a small village, founded by a prospector from Portuguese for Corral of the King).

Scientific leadership Along with his activities as a professor and researcher, Dr. Krieger has also made great contributions to the development of science and higher education in Brazil. He participated in the university reform at USP from 1968 to 1969, and cooperated with many research grants committees of CNPq (Brazilian National Research and Development Council, Ministry of Education (CAPES) and the São Paulo Foundation for Research Support (FAPESP). He was one of the founders and a President of the Brazilian Society of Physiology (1979_1985), founder and the first President of the Brazilian Federation of Societies of Experimental Biology (FESBE _ 1985_1991), and founder and first President of the Brazilian Society of Hypertension (1992_1994). He is one of the three editors who founded and directed the Brazilian Journal of Medical and Scientific Research, one of the best international scientific journals of best quality in the country. He belongs to both the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and to the Brazilian Academy of Medicine (elected 1998).
At the international level, Prof. Krieger is a Director of the Committee on Science and Technology in Developing Countries (COSTED) since 1998, and a member of the Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) since 1995, and was a President of the Inter_American Society of Hypertension,
Dr. Krieger has published more than 120 full papers in international journals. Under his supervision, 19 graduate students got their Masters degrees and 23 their doctoral degrees.
Among his many prizes and awards, Prof. Krieger holds the national decorations of the Grã_Cruz da Ordem Nacional do Mérito Científico (Great Cross of Scientific Merit) by the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil (1994) and the Comenda da Legião do Mérito do Engenheiro Militar (Commend of the Legion of Merit of Military Engineer, 1999), the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Interamerican Society of Hypertension (1997), the Almirante Álvaro Alberto em Medicina e Saúde Pública Award (National Science Award) by the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (1998), and the Anísio Teixeira Award by the Ministry of Education (2001).
