Mosny served as médecin des hopitaux in Paris, and was a member of the Académie de Médecine and the Conseil supérieur d'hygiène.

He is remembered for his work in the field of microbiology. With Joaquín Albarrán (1860–1912) he performed a series of tests in an attempt to find an antidote to the colon bacillus. Eventually the two scientists developed a vaccine that achieved a high degree of immunity in dogs and rabbits.[https://books.google.com/books?id=c7MCAAAAYAAJ&dq=Mosny+Albarran&pg=PA817] Therapeutic gazette edited by William Brodie, et al[http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/albert-besson/practical-bacteriology-microbiology-and-serum-therapy-medical-and-veterinary--hci/page-50-practical-bacteriology-microbiology-and-serum-therapy-medical-and-veterinary--hci.shtml] Albert Besson.
