Guilherme Dabus—an interventional neuroradiologist at the Baptist Health Miami Neuroscience Institute in Miami, USA—has been named the 2025–2026 president of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS).
“Leading SNIS is both a privilege and a responsibility,” said 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 honour to play a role in guiding the field of neurointervention with my incredible colleagues.”
Dabus serves as the director of clinical research and co-director of the interventional neuroradiology/neurointerventional surgery programme at Baptist Health of South Florida’s Miami Neuroscience Institute (Miami, USA), with an academic appointment as clinical professor at Florida International University’s Wertheim College of Medicine (Westchester, USA).
He completed a neuroradiology fellowship at Northwestern University (Chicago, USA), followed by interventional neuroradiology/neurointerventional surgery fellowships at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University (St Louis, USA) and Massachusetts General Hospital of Harvard Medical School (Boston, USA).
Born in Brazil, Dabus earned his medical degree from the Santos School of Medical Sciences (Santos, Brazil). He has several national and international publications, including peer-reviewed manuscripts, invited review articles and book chapters.
Dabus takes over as SNIS president from Johanna Fifi (Mount Sinai Health System, New York, USA).
The new president-elect of the SNIS is Peter Kan (University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, USA), while Justin Fraser (University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA) has been elected as the society’s vice president. Additional SNIS board members for 2025–2026 include Jeremy Heit (Stanford University, Stanford, USA) as treasurer, Jonathan Grossberg (Emory University, Atlanta, USA) as secretary, and Jenny Tsai (Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, USA) as education chair.
Additionally, at the society’s recent annual meeting (14–18 July, Nashville, USA), Felipe Albuquerque (Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, USA) concluded a nine-year tenure as editor-in-chief (EIC) of the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS), handing over the baton to new EIC and former SNIS president Michael Chen (Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, USA).
The SNIS draws its membership from three areas: interventional neuroradiology, endovascular neurosurgery, and interventional neurology. A recent press release from the society notes that bringing these three subspecialties together fosters a unified, multidisciplinary approach that enhances collaboration and ultimately improves patient outcomes. The SNIS states that its nearly 2,000 worldwide members work together to promote research, standard-setting, education and advocacy in diagnosing and treating diseases of the brain, spine, head, and neck.
