Hemingway was born in a small mining town in West Yorkshire in 1957[ 2] corner shop . She obtained a first-class honours degree in zoology and genetics from the University of Sheffield , where she set up the university's first mosquito insectary as part of her thesis project. She did a PhD at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and obtained her doctorate after two years of studying the biochemistry and genetics of insecticide resistance in Anopheles [ 1] [ 6] [ 7]
Hemingway specialises in the biochemistry and molecular biology of specific enzyme systems associated with xenobiotic resistance, most notably the malaria -transmitting mosquito.[ 8] [ 9] [ 10]
She was the first to report the co-amplification of multiple genes on a single amplicon and demonstrate their impact on disease transmission.[ 11]
For her 2012 contributions to the prevention of tropical disease vectors, she received the Commander of the British Empire (CBE).[ 12]
In 2019, she became the first woman to be awarded the Manson Medal (jointly with David Warrell).[ 13]
Hemingway runs a 15 acres farm in a remote corner of the Cheshire countryside in the north part of England. Her home is a converted Victorian farm built in 1840. "She shares it with five horses, two dogs, a cat and, for now, her daughter ... and her partner [ 14]
In 2019, the annual Hemingway Award (a joint award between the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and LSTM) was created to recognise Hemingway's achievements at LSTM.[ 18] [ 19]
