Rayuwar farko da ilimi 
Drennan ta girma a New York tare da iyayenta (likitan likitanci da likitan ɗan adam). Ta sami digiri na farko a cikin Chemistry daga Kwalejin Vassar, tana aiki a dakin gwaje-gwaje na Farfesa Miriam Ross.  Bayan koleji, Drennan ya shafe lokaci a matsayin malamin kimiyyar sakandare da wasan kwaikwayo, a makarantar gudanar da girgizar kasa a Iowa.   Ta sami digirin digirgir a fannin ilmin halitta daga Jami'ar Michigan a 1995, tana aiki a dakin gwaje-gwaje na marigayiya Farfesa Martha L Ludwig . Rubutun Drennan mai taken "Crystallographic Studies na FMN da Vitamin B12 Dependent Enzymes: Flavodoxin da Methionine Synthase".   Bayan ta PhD, ta shiga Douglas Rees a matsayin abokin karatun digiri a Cibiyar Fasaha ta California . 

Drennan yana da dyslexic, amma ya yi imanin cewa wannan yana da fa'ida a kimiyya, "kada ku saurari abin da kowa ya gaya muku abin da za ku iya ko ba za ku iya yi ba ... babu rufin dyslexia".

Drennan ta yi nazarin enzymes da ke amfani da bitamin B12 tun lokacin da take karatun digiri.  Binciken bincikenta shine metalloproteins da metalloenzymes, da haɓaka hanyoyin tsari don ganin enzymes.    Ƙungiyarta tana amfani da crystallography X-ray da na'ura mai kwakwalwa na lantarki don kwatanta metalloproteins a cikin aiki.   Tana da sha'awar canjin yanayi yayin catalysis.  Har ila yau, aikinta yana ba da gudummawa ga kare muhalli, kamar yadda karafa ke aiki a matsayin masu taimakawa kwayoyin halitta a cikin halayen sinadaran.  Drennan shine marubucin sama da 100 Protein Data Bank ƙaddamarwa.
