Takardar Drennan tana da taken "Kiririn crystallographic na FMN da Vitamin B12 Dependent Enzymes: Flavodoxin da Methionine Synthase" . [5][6]

Bayan ta PhD, ta shiga Douglas Rees a matsayin abokiyar Postdoctoral a Cibiyar Fasaha ta California .  A lokacin da take aiki a matsayin abokiyar karatun digiri, a cikin 1997, ta fara kuma ta jagoranci gasar takardun karatun digiri a taron shekara-shekara na American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB).

Drennan ta yi nazarin enzymes da ke amfani da Bitamin B12 tun lokacin da ta kasance daliba mai digiri. Binciken da ta mayar da hankali shine metalloproteins da metalloenzymes, da kuma bunkasa hanyoyin tsari don ganin enzymes. Kungiyar ta tana amfani da X-ray crystallography da microscopy na lantarki don nuna alamun metaloproteins a cikin aiki. Tana da sha'awar canjin yanayi a lokacin catalysis. Ayyukanta kuma suna ba da gudummawa ga kare muhalli, yayin da karafa ke aiki a matsayin mataimakan kwayoyin a cikin halayen sunadarai. Drennan shine marubucin fiye da dari (100) Protein Data Bank.
