Moor studied natural sciences at the ETH Zurich from 1952, graduating in 1956 and received his doctorate in 1958 under Albert Frey-Wyssling , whose assistant he was. In 1964 he qualified as a professor and in 1967 he became assistant professor for molecular biology, 1970 associate professor and 1973 full professor for cell biology at the ETH Zurich.
