Dr. Elvina Viennet is a Research Fellow at the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood and an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at Queensland University of Technology. Dr. Elvina completed her Ph.D. in Medical and Veterinary Entomology and Bio-Ecology at CIRAD in 2011. Her research focuses on understanding how weather, environment, and climate changes affect the prevalence and transmission of vector-borne diseases and how these affect blood donations and blood supply management. By examining patterns and trends in disease occurrence and mapping how these patterns change over time, Dr. Elvina aims to identify the emerging risks and vulnerabilities linked to shifting environmental conditions. Her work plays a vital role in developing strategies for effective screening, prevention, and education, ensuring the safety and reliability of blood transfusions in the face of a rapidly changing world.
