Andrew Michael Brennan Jr
Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - Cardiology
BioDr. Andrew Brennan is a pediatric cardiologist and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine. He specializes in cardiac imaging, including fetal echocardiograms, transthoracic echocardiograms, and transesophageal echocardiograms, and provides care to patients and families in the hospital in the acute care cardiology unit.
He completed pediatric residency, pediatric cardiology fellowship, and pediatric cardiology advanced imaging training at Stanford University. Previously he graduated from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and attended Northeastern University where he received his B.S. in Health Science.
His research interests include evaluating the use of echocardiographic indices, such as speckle-tracking strain analysis, in clinical outcome studies in congenital heart disease and pulmonary venous anomalies. -
Megan Brennan
Advanced Lecturer, Chemistry
BioDr. Megan Brennan's interests include the development of organic chemistry lab courses that give students hands-on opportunities to explore chemistry while reinforcing and building upon concepts learned in lecture classes. She aims for her labs to bring chemistry to life, and to afford students a chance to have fun and experience a taste of scientific discovery.
While studying chemistry at Lafayette College (B.S. 2002), Dr. Brennan worked on the preparation of triazaphenanthrenes and the Oxa–Pictet–Spengler reaction of 1-(3-furyl)alkan-2-ols. She completed her doctoral work at Stanford (Ph.D. 2008), conducting her thesis research in palladium asymmetric allylic alkylation under the advisement of Professor Barry Trost. During her postdoctoral research with Professor Scott Miller at Yale University, she investigated the use of peptides containing a thiazole side chain for use in acyl anion chemistry. She joined the teaching staff at University of California, Berkeley in 2010 before coming returning to Stanford in 2011 to spearhead the development of a new summer organic chemistry sequence, a comprehensive course designed for pre-meds, offering an entire year of organic chemistry in nine weeks.
Dr. Brennan also acts as the liaison to the chemistry majors, to promote events with faculty in both the academic and social aspect: providing an environment that allows students to be comfortable and able to learn, while helping them take advantage of every opportunity that Stanford offers.
Dr. Brennan's current research is in the development classroom experiments that bring cutting edge industrial and academic research into the undergraduate laboratory experience.
