Laurie Hollis Glimcher (born 1951) is an American physician-scientist and former President and CEO of Dana–Farber Cancer Institute. She was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2019. Glimcher has been at the center of controversies related to animal rights activists, excessive corporate payments, and research misconduct. A 2021 investigation by the Boston Globe Spotlight team highlighted Glimcher’s activities on multiple corporate boards, including Bristol Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, and Analog Devices. After this investigation, Glimcher continued to receive compensation on for-profit boards, while doubling her salary to $4 million per year at Dana-Farber. In October 2024, Glimcher stepped down as President and CEO of Dana-Farber.
