Dr Evelyne Benoit completed her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the age of 26 and her habilitation to lead research in 2010 at Paris‐XI‐Orsay University (France). She is a senior researcher at the CNRS and is responsible for “Ion transfers and pathophysiology of sensory and neuromuscular conduction” studies. To gain a better understanding of these processes, she studies the mechanism of action of emerging neurotoxins and uses some of these bioactive agents because of their specificity of action. She has published 139 papers in reputed journals, has written 43 book chapters, and has co‐authored 2 patents. She was the President from 2016 to 2021, and then the vice‐President, until 2024, of the French Society of Toxinology (http://sfet.asso.fr/international/).
