He is a professor of pharmaceutical chemistry and a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kopeček is also an honorary professor at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China. His research focuses on biorecognition of macromolecules, bioconjugate chemistry, drug delivery systems, self-assembled biomaterials, and drug-free macromolecular therapeutics.

Kopeček is regarded as one of the pioneers in development of biomedicinal polymers such as hydrogel implants and design of new polymer-drug conjugates. He was a key figure in a group which created the first clinically tested polymeric cancerostatics (PK1 and PK2). Hydrogels from his laboratory have been in clinical use.

He was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering in 2011 for contributions to the design of hydrogel biomaterials and polymeric drug delivery systems. In 2018, he was elected Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
