Eban is the daughter of Elinor (née Fuchs) and Michael O.

She is an Andrew Carnegie fellow.[3]

Eban has written two books. Dangerous Doses: How Counterfeiters are Contaminating America's Drug Supply was one of the best books of 2005 according to Kirkus Reviews. In 2019, she published Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom.[6] She has received grants from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to support her books.[7] Bottle of Lies won the Cornelius Ryan Award from the Overseas Press Club of America.[8]
