Research interests include the origin of primates, guenon locomotion, and treeshrew systematics. His work integrates evolutionary morphology, genetics, and biogeography. Recent studies involve newly discovered Dryas monkeys and Paleocene primate fossils from Montana. Sargis co-edits the Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology series and has authored/co-authored over 100 publications.
Students under his mentorship have received grants like Fulbright and Leakey Foundation awards for research on primate evolution, treeshrew taxonomy, and deforestation impacts. His lab at the Peabody Museum leads field expeditions to study Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary faunas and conduct conservation-focused primatology.
