Moore's research focuses on the development and application of [[artificial intelligence]] and [[machine learning]] methods for modeling complex patterns in biomedical [[big data]]. A central focus is using [[informatics]] methods for identifying combinations of [[DNA]] sequence variations and environmental factors that are predictive of human [[health]] and [[Genetic disorder#Multifactorial and polygenic (complex) disorders|complex disease]]. For example, he developed the [[multifactor dimensionality reduction]] (MDR)<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Ritchie|first1=Marylyn D.|last2=Hahn|first2=Lance W.|last3=Roodi|first3=Nady|last4=Bailey|first4=L.
