Dr Eilis O'Reilly has a dual-doctorate from Harvard University's Chan School of Public Health where she also spent her post-doctoral years rising to junior faculty in the Harvard School of Medicine.
Teaching/Leadership: Dr O'Reilly is currently an SL in the School of Public Health and Director of the online MPH (2018-) where she was instrumental in redesigning the MPH for APHEA accreditation, received in 2022. In addition, with colleagues in UCC’s Schools of Pharmacy and Statistics through the HCI pillar, she co-created the first regulatory science programme in Irl/UK, attracting 20 diverse skilled graduates per year with high employability in pharmaceutical and high-tech sector. From 2019-2023, she chaired the SPH Teaching and Curriculum committee.
Research: Dr O'Reilly's research focuses on neuro- and environmental epidemiology (seemingly distinct areas of research but a leading modifiable cause of neuropathology is environmental exposure). She was awarded the first grant collaboration for SPH and UCC's Centre for Atmospheric Chemistry (EPA). In this interdisciplinary research group, she also mentored a DOROTHY fellow and an IRC PhD to successful grant awards, and works with government policy-makers at the intersection of air quality and health. With colleagues in CUH, she provides the epidemiologic lead in studies of incidence and risk factors for first seizures in Ireland, from which PhD and MD academic neurologists are currently enrolled and have graduated, with several high-impact publications. In these studies and others, she collaborates with research colleagues at UCC and internationally from Harvard, Technical University of Denmark, University of Aberdeen, Karolinska, RCSI, American Cancer Society Academic Section, and University of Hawaii.
Prior to UCC, Dr O'Reilly was a post-doctoral fellow in the neuroepidemiology group of Prof. Alberto Ascherio where she led in epidemiology methods and biostatistics. During this time, she was the department’s earliest career recipient of an NIH-R01 (to create a consortium of 10 international cohorts to study ALS risk factors.) She was co-investigator and manager of another R01 in biomarkers of ALS creating a unique biorepository of pre-diagnostic blood samples for ALS cases and controls, from which she still publishes. She tutored in several highly methodological classes (Prof. Jamie Robins, Prof. Murray Mittleman) and co-taught the department’s flagship class, Nutritional Epidemiology Methods (w/ Prof. Walter Willett) for five years before moving to UCC. In dissemination of knowledge, she was guest-speaker at One Young World and consultant for chef Jamie Oliver Food campaigns.
