Women working in psychedelics are shattering the status quo and shaping an industry that's set to become worth more than$100 billionat its peak, according to analysts.

From business executives to scientists, Insider has identified 16 of the most influential women in psychedelics. The list, comprising a mix of academia, investment firms, businesses, and advocates, is a microcosm of the wider industry, which has various forces collaborating to form its future.

Insider published a callout asking for nominations for the most influential women in psychedelics and received 158 names. We asked that nominees identify as women, be deeply involved in the psychedelics space, and stand out from their peers.

After careful review, Insider chose a list of 23 people and interviewed each to come up with the 16 names below. We considered past achievements and current work to determine how they might shape the space to come. Insider editors and reporters made the final decisions.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the women on our list were affiliated with or have worked with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) which is the closest of any organization to bringing a psychedelic compound to market.

Many of the nominees personally knew of or had collaborated with one another in their research, business ventures, and funding efforts, and many others were making active efforts in their work to highlight more women in the space.
