Moore was associate dean for Basic Medical Sciences in the university's faculty of Medicine and was Chair of Anatomy from 1976 to 1984. He is a founding member of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) and was President of the AACA between 1989 and 1991.
Moore has co-written (with Professor Arthur F. Dalley and Professor Anne M. R. Agur) "Clinically Oriented Anatomy", an English-language anatomy textbook. He also co-wrote (with Professor Anne M. R. Agur and Professor Arthur F. Dalley) "Essential Clinical Anatomy".
Awards.
The American Association of Clinical Anatomists awarded Dr. Moore, the previous president, with their Honored Member Award (in 1994). The American Association of Anatomists awarded him the Henry Gray/Elsevier Distinguished Educator Award in 2007 for human anatomy education in the anatomical sciences.
Further awards, appointments and honors include:
Embryology in The Qur'an.
In 1980, Dr. Moore was invited to Saudi Arabia to lecture on anatomy and embryology at King Abdulaziz University. While he was there, Moore was approached by the Embryology Committee of King Abdulaziz University for his assistance in interpreting certain verses in the Qur’an and some sayings in the Hadiths which referred to human reproduction and embryological development. Moore said that he was amazed at the scientific accuracy of some of the statements which were made in the 7th century AD:
For the past three years, I have worked with the Embryology Committee of King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, helping them interpret the many statements in the Qur’an and Sunnah referring to human reproduction and prenatal development. At first, I was astonished by the accuracy of the statements that were recorded in the 7th century AD, before the science of embryology was established.
Moore worked with the Embryology Committee on a comparative study of the Qur’an, the Hadith and modern embryology. The Committee presented and published several papers with Moore and others co-authoring a number of papers.
Islam Papers writes that the electron microscope reveals that:
For instance, the Holy book claims that at one point the embryo looks like a small piece of meat which can be chewed, or "mudghah", and Moore consents, "by golly, it does, sorta", agreeing and signaling to the knowledge we have about the structure and appearance of the actual embryo, which actually comes into a stage where it resembles the size of a small thing which can be chewed by teeth i.e. it is approximately of 1.0cm meanwhile in Alaqah stage embryo is forming and only 3.5mm which can't be chewed. 
A special edition of Moore's medical school textbook, "The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology", was published for the Muslim world in 1983. "The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology with Islamic Additions", included "pages with embryology-related Quranic verse and hadith" by co-author Abdul Majeed al-Zindani, "interspersed" with Moore's text. 
In 2002, Moore declined to be interviewed by the Wall Street Journal on the subject of his work on Islam, stating that "it's been ten or eleven years since I was involved in the Qur'an." In 2004 the US Treasury Department labelled al-Zindani, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. But the UN and the American administration failed to answer the several requests of the Yemeni Government to provide them with proofs that show the involvement of Zindani in terrorist actions.
