Hilary Ranson is a British researcher in malaria, vector biology, and public health. Ranson is a professor of medical entomology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and her work has focused mainly on insecticides and malaria control.

Education
In 1992 Ranson obtained a BSc in Biology from the University of York. Later she enrolled at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, where she got an MSc in medical parasitology.

Career
Ranson was the head of the Vector Biology department at LSTM between 2010-2019. On April 2021 she was announced as the inaugural Dean of Research and Cultural Integrity at the same institution.

Ranson coordinated the PIIVeC Consortium (Partnership for Increasing the Impact of Vector Control, which worked in collaboration with scientists in Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Malawi to address vector control for different diseases. The project was cut six months before it finalized, due to the UK Research and Innovation cuts to global health research budgets.

Other appointments
Ranson is a faculty member of the Science of Eradication course on approaches to malaria elimination.
