Katharine Montagu (- 28 March 1966) was the first researcher to identify dopamine in human brains. Working in Hans Weil-Malherbe’s laboratory at the Runwell Hospital outside London[1] the presence of dopamine was identified by paper chromatography in the brain of several species, including a human brain.[2] Her research was published in August 1957,[3] followed and confirmed by Hans Weil-Malherbe in November 1957.[2]
