FAIRFAX, Va. — Guilherme Dabus, MD, an interventional neuroradiologist at the Baptist Health Miami Neuroscience Institute, has been named the 2025–2026 president of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS), the world’s leading scientific and educational society dedicated to advancing the specialty of neurointerventional surgery.
“Leading SNIS is both a privilege and a responsibility,” said Dr. Dabus. “As our field evolves, so does our role in shaping its future, from refining techniques to expanding access to care. What makes this society so impactful is its shared commitment among members to elevate the standard of treatment through collaboration, expertise, and vision. It is truly an honor to play a role in guiding the field of neurointervention with my incredible colleagues.”
SNIS draws its membership from three areas—interventional neuroradiology, endovascular neurosurgery, and interventional neurology. Bringing these three subspecialties together fosters a unified, multidisciplinary approach that enhances collaboration and ultimately improves patient outcomes. Together, members work to promote research, standard-setting, education and advocacy in diagnosing and treating diseases of the brain, spine, head, and neck. With nearly 2,000 members worldwide, the society is committed to providing the highest quality of patient care.
Dr. Dabus serves as the Director of Clinical Research and Co-Director of the Interventional Neuroradiology/NeuroInterventional Surgery Program at the Miami Neuroscience Institute, Baptist Health of South Florida with academic appointment as Clinical Professor at the Wertheim College of Medicine, Florida International University. He completed a neuroradiology fellowship at Northwestern University in Chicago, followed by interventional neuroradiology/neurointerventional surgery fellowships at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis, and at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston. Born in Brazil, Dr. Dabus earned his medical degree from the Santos School of Medical Sciences – FCMS. He has several national and international publications, including peer-reviewed manuscripts, invited review articles, and book chapters.
