[7] Hemingway also works on advocacy and resource mobilization (and was previously chief executive officer) at the Innovative Vector Control Consortium (IVCC) funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,[6].

[8] Hemingway was born in a small mining town in West Yorkshire in 1957[2] to parents who owned a corner shop.

She was invited to pursue 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 mosquitoes.

[1][9][10] Hemingway has worked on the biochemistry and molecular biology of specific enzyme systems associated with xenobiotic resistance, most notably the malaria-transmitting mosquito, for over 30 years.

[citation needed] She was the first to report the co-amplification of multiple genes on a single amplicon and demonstrate their impact on disease transmission.
