Glenn McGee, Ph. D. (born September 1, 1967 in Waco, Texas) is an American professor of medicine, philosophy, law and public health. He holds degrees in philosophy from Vanderbilt University and Baylor University and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the Human Genome Project. His work in the areas of ethics and the health sciences is widely cited and he is often called upon to advise and comment by government and the media, and is ubiquitous in Internet discussions of science and society.

At age 26, McGee was appointed in 1995 an assistant professor in the University of Pennsylvania's newly founded Center for Bioethics. In 2005, McGee was named director of the new Alden March Bioethics Institute, located in Albany, New York, the largest university-based bioethics program in that state and comprised of faculty from 12 institutions in the New York Hudson valley. He was invested as the John A. Balint, MD Endowed Chair in Medical Ethics of the Albany Medical College (of Union University, chartered in 1873, whose other constituent institutions include Albany Law School, Albany College of Pharmacy, Dudley Observatory, Union College, and Union Graduate College), [[1]], and appointed directly to the rank of tenured full professor there. He serves on journal, academic, state, federal, international, foundation and corporate advisory and directors boards and as an advisor to policymakers, most notably as a recipient of the United Kingdom Atlantic Fellowship in Public Policy and as genomics and society programs reviewer for the Economic and Social Research Council.

McGee has authored many scholarly articles, two books, and hundreds of essays and reviews. He writes a column for the Times Union(Albany, New York) , distributed by Hearst Newspapers and a monthly column for The Scientist, and created bioethics' first website and its most cited journal, The American Journal of Bioethics and its Editors' blog, the first blog by the editors of a scholarly journal. He created and is senior editor of the MIT Press' book series in bioethics, and has been the leader in the development of Internet bioethics, beginning with its first synchronous and asynchronous online educational programs, both of which were featured on the cover of Microsoft Encarta, for which (along with numerous other encyclopedias) McGee has authored the entries on key areas in bioethics. In 2007 McGee pioneered a new journal, AJOB Neuroscience as a spinoff of AJOB with neurosciences editor Judy Illes of Stanford University.
