Their subfields emphasize Molecular Biology, Immunology, Cancer Research, Oncology, and Infectious Diseases. This multidisciplinary approach is reflected in their publications and research themes.

O'Reilly's research addresses several recurring topics, such as:

  • NF-κB Signaling Pathways
  • Cytokine Signaling Pathways and Interactions
  • Cell death mechanisms and regulation
  • Oral Health Pathology and Treatment
  • SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research
  • Cell Image Analysis Techniques
  • Helicobacter pylori-related gastroenterology studies

Their recent papers underscore these interests, including:

  • "NF-κB and Pancreatic Cancer; Chapter and Verse," 2021, published in Cancers
  • "Digesting the Role of JAK-STAT and Cytokine Signaling in Oral and Gastric Cancers," 2022, published in Frontiers in Immunology
  • "Loss of NFKB1 Results in Expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor and Activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 to Promote Gastric Tumorigenesis in Mice," 2020, published in Gastroenterology
  • "The transcription factor IRF4 represses proapoptotic BMF and BIM to licence multiple myeloma survival," 2020, published in Leukemia
  • "OXTRHigh stroma fibroblasts control the invasion pattern of oral squamous cell carcinoma via ERK5 signaling," 2022, published in Nature Communications

O'Reilly frequently publishes in venues such as:

  • Cancers
  • Cell Death and Disease
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Emerging Microbes & Infections
  • Frontiers in Immunology

The scientist has collaborated regularly with several coauthors, including:
