Pete Moore was born in Abingdon, Oxfordshire and lived in Retford, Nottinghamshire and Buntingford, Hertfordshire, before studying the 'Physiology and Biochemistry of Farm Animals' at the University of Reading.

He stayed at Reading to pursue a PhD in fetal physiology, with a research project that aimed to work out the neural mechanisms that cause mammals to breathe once they are born.

[7] In 2000 he established ThinkWrite, a training organisation dedicated to helping people reduce the time they spend writing clear and successful documents by informing their approach to structure.

These workshops were initially delivered to the academic sector, but by 2018 participants came from a wide range of backgrounds including business.

[12] In its review of Blood and Justice, The Wellcome Trust said "I am left craving more medical and scientific history to be delivered in such a lively manner", but criticised Moore's "readiness to skip forward within his chapters, filling the readers with more up-to-date information of the subsequent findings about blood and transfusion", finding this "a bit disconcerting".
