Mott Center for Human Growth and Development at Wayne State University, USA, and the Vice Chair for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Wayne State University. He was the Editor in Chief of the American Journal for Reproductive Immunology from 2010 to 2018. He was the President of the American Society for Reproductive Immunology from 2019 to 2022. Dr. Mor was a tenured Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Yale University School of Medicine from 1997-2019 during which time he led two research teams: reproductive immunology research and "from discovery to cure" translational medicine research. He has long been engaged in pregnancy immunity and cancer immunity. Basic and clinical translation, he has high academic attainments 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.
