Jorge I. Mora

Jorge I. Mora serves as Professor of Clinical Medicine in the Division of Sleep Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. He holds key leadership positions including Associate Chief of Clinical Affairs for the Division of Sleep Medicine, Medical Director of the Penn Sleep Centers, and Director of the Sleep Noninvasive Ventilation Program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Mora earned his M.D. from the Jose Maria Vargas School of Medicine, Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1993. His clinical expertise spans noninvasive ventilation, central apnea, and congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), with research bridging sleep medicine and cardiology through investigations of sleep-disordered breathing's impact on heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

His publication record reveals consistent focus on clinical management of sleep-related breathing disorders and cardiovascular interactions, particularly central sleep apnea treatment innovations like the remede system and drug-induced sleep endoscopy techniques. Recent work emphasizes nurse-led multidisciplinary approaches for obesity and sleep apnea in cardiac patients, demonstrating translational impact from pathophysiology to clinical implementation.

Dr. Mora directs the Penn Sleep Centers and Sleep Noninvasive Ventilation Program, where his team integrates clinical care with research on ventilatory support systems and sleep-disordered breathing management. His textbook contributions to Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders establish him as a key educator in pulmonary and sleep medicine disciplines.
