Brennan's research interests lie in the interface between food science and human nutrition with a particular interest in how bio-active ingredients and processing manipulate the nutritional quality of foods, in particular, the role of plant dietary fibre in manipulating the glycaemic response.[3]

Brennan is a graduate of London University, Wye College (BSc in applied plant science) and King's College London (PhD in food science and nutrition). During his career, he has also worked at Durham University, Plymouth University, Massey University, and Manchester Metropolitan University.[4]

He currently serves as editor-in-chief for the journal International Journal of Molecular Sciences,[5] and the International Journal of Food Science & Technology[6] and on the editorial board of the Journal of Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre.[7]
