He has long been engaged in the areas of pregnancy immunity and cancer immunity. His research covers both basic and clinical/translation, where he has contributed to the understanding of the immune system during pregnancy and developed new therapeutic approaches and early detection tests for ovarian cancer. He has high academic achievements in this field and is an international leader in reproductive immunology. In the direction of pregnancy immunity, he first proposed that trophoblast cells themselves have the ability to recognize pathogenic bacteria, as an important component involved in the process of pregnancy to resist environmental threats. This discovery is of great significance for understanding the immunity at the maternal-fetal interface and broadens the knowledge field of traditional reproductive immunity. With his outstanding scientific research achievements, Prof. Gil Mor has won a series of awards and has published more than 300 papers in top international journals such as Science, Nat Rev Immunol, J Clin Invest, J Immunol, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, Cell Mol Immunol, Nat Immunol, Ann N Y Acad Sci, Placenta, etc. He has published five books on the subject of pregnancy and cancer and he is the editor of a new series of books on the subject of Reproductive Immunology published by Elsevier.
