Hannah Steinberg (16 March 1926 – 11 December 2019) was a pioneer of experimental psychopharmacology,[1] the study of the interaction of drugs on the human mind.

After studying for a Certificate in Commerce at Reading University and then at Denton Secretarial College[3] she changed course.

[2] She discovered that small amounts interfered with completing complex tasks but that it also improved memory recall.

[2] Steinberg was a founding member of the British Association of Psychopharmacology and the International College of Neuropyschopharmacology.

[2][9] She also founded the Academic Women's Achievement Group at UCL; the minutes from 1979 to 1986 are held at the National Archives.
