Former MIT and Whitehead Institute star biologist David Sabatini, who lost his positions after he was accused of violating sexual harassment policies in 2021, is resuming his science career, taking a post at a Czech research institute in Prague.
Sabatini, of Cambridge, confirmed in a phone call from Prague that he has accepted a position as a “senior group leader” at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, known as IOCB Prague.
