Dr. Kupfer's research has focused primarily on the conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment of mood disorders.

Past research studies have focused on sleep disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression and insomnia. In 2006, he was chosen to chair the fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.
