Biography

Career publications: 120+ peer-reviewed publications (excl. conference abstracts) h-index: 57 citations: 16592Total Career Research Income: €3,092,998 (PI (€1,057,619) & co-I ($1,730,770); remainder as collaborator/WP lead)) 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 an SL in the School of Public Health and Director of the online MPH where she redesiged the MPH for APHEA accreditation received in 2022. In addition, with colleagues in UCC’s Schools of Pharmacy and Statistics, through the HCI pillar programme, 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. She chaired the SPH Teaching and Curriculum committee for 4 years and now represents SPH on the university Academic Integrity board. 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 expertise for studies of incidence of, and risk factors for, first seizures and epilepsy, from which PhD and MD academic neurologists are currently enrolled and have graduated, with several high-impact publications.
