Eileen M. O'Reilly, MD

My research initiatives include the integration of molecular and genetic-based therapies into the treatment of pancreas cancer, developing adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies, and identifying biomarkers that may be used to select therapy. I also teach and mentor national and international oncology fellows, junior faculty, residents, and house staff and have received numerous teaching awards.

I am the principal investigator of multiple phase I, II, and III clinical trials in pancreas cancer and have authored and co-authored many articles, editorials, and book chapters. I am also Associate Chair of MSK’s Institutional Review and Privacy Board (IRB), a member of the Research Council, and Chair of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) committee.

Nationally, I am the Chair of the NCI Pancreas Task Force, a member of the Alliance GI Core Committee, and serve on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Pancreas Cancer Action Network, NCCN Pancreas panel, Board of the National Pancreas Foundation, and ASCO IMT committee. I received my medical degree from Trinity College at Dublin University in Ireland, where I was born.
