Former MIT and Whitehead Institute star biologist David Sabatini, who lost his lofty positions after being accused of violating sexual harassment policies in 2021, is rejoining the Boston scientific community as head of a research group at a new laboratory under the umbrella of a Czech-based scientific institute.

Sabatini, who has denied harassing anyone and filed litigation over the claims, has been working since last October in a senior research position at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, in the Czech Republic capital of Prague, investigating scientific questions in the areas of cell growth and metabolism, similar to his past research at Whitehead.

The Czech institute, known as IOCB Prague, is realizing a long-held ambition to expand into the Boston biotech hub, confirmed the institute’s director, Jan Konvalinka.
