After studying Kuprijanowa worked in Komarov - Botany -Institut of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Leningrad. She founded the Palynology Laboratory there and then headed it. She was one of the first to recognize the need for comparative collection of pollen and spores and began collecting accordingly. The result is the Palynothek of the Botany Institute, which in 2011 contained 21,000 pollen and spore preparations.
Kuprijanow published more than 200 scientific articles on the systematics of plants , the history of flora and the structure of pollen. In 1948 she published her important hundred-page study of pollen morphology and phylogeny of monocots . With her dissertation on the palynology of the Amenthaceae (later divided into Salicaceae , Betulaceae , Fagaceae , Juglandaceae , Myricaceae ) she received her doctorate in biological sciences. She was one of the pioneers in the application of transmission and scanning electron microscopy to examine pollen structures. She identified the pseudo-beeches as the only plant genus of the pseudo-beech family (Nothofagaceae) within the order of the beech-like (Fagales). She lectured at numerous international botany and geobotany congresses. As a globally recognized expert on palynology, she was co-editor of Soviet and international journals, including Pollen et Spores of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle , World Pollen and Spore Flora of the Collegium Palynologicum Scandinavicum and Review of Palaeobotany & Palynology ( Elsevier ).
