A major pioneer in IR research since 1990, Michael D. Dake, MD, has been named the recipient of the 2011 SIR Foundation Leaders in Innovation Award.
After receiving his undergraduate degree at Harvard College, Dr. Dake graduated from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston where he completed an intern-ship, and was a resident and chief resident in internal medicine. He next received his fellowship training in pul-monary disease and completed his residency and chief residency in radiology at University of California San Francisco. He went on to complete subspecialty training in vascular and interventional radiology under the men-torship of Ernest J. Ring, MD, FSIR.
After working for several years helping to develop the fledging Miami Vascular Institute under Barry T. Katzen, MD, FSIR, Dr. Dake returned to California in 1990 to assume the positions of section chief of cardio-vascular and interventional radiology at Stanford Uni-versity School of Medicine and co-director of the Cath-eterization and Angiography Laboratories at Stanford University Hospital.
