He then taught at a Moscow school before joining the IEB in 1927 to research under Nikolai Koltsov. He then moved to work at the Moscow Pharmaceutical Institute and then directed the Institute of General Genetics. He became a professor at the K. A. Timiriazev Moscow Agricultural Academy in 1965, working there until his death.
Sakharov worked on the heredity of goitre among people in Uzbekistan, examined chemical mutagenesis and created polyploid plants including varieties of buckwheat using colchicine.
