Bio:

Andrews received her B.S. in Chemistry from the Pennsylvania State University. She carried out her dissertation research under the direction of Dr. Dennis Murphy at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and was awarded her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the American University. She also attended the George Washington University, Sino-Soviet Institute for Russian Area Studies. Andrews was a United States Department of Education Fellow and an NIH Predoctoral Intramural Research Training Awardee. Andrews continued as a Postdoctoral IRTA Fellow and a Senior Staff Fellow at the NIMH. In 1998, she joined the faculty at the Pennsylvania State University in the Departments of Chemistry and Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences and was affiliated with the Huck Institutes Neuroscience and Molecular Toxicology Programs. Andrews is an Eli Lilly Outstanding Analytical Chemist Awardee and the recipient of a NARSAD Independent Investigator Award, among others. She is a fellow of the Collegium Internationale Neuropsychopharmacologicum and a Serotonin Club councilor. Andrews serves on multiple review panels for the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
