Cathy Drennan is interested in determining the structures of metalloproteins. As a professor, she trains graduate students and postdocs to be teacher-scholars and lectures in large freshman science classes. Drennan co-authored the teacher training guide What Every Teacher and Mentor Should Know: A Guide to Identifying and Reducing Stereotype Threat to Maximize Student Performance. She is also a producer of the 2-minute video series Behind the Scenes at MIT that relates concepts from textbook chemistry to current MIT research and applications in medicine, the environment, and energy.
