Discredited American scientist won a lawsuit against the woman who accused him. He is now working for the Czech Republic.
David Sabatini, a biochemist, faced professional exile due to sexual harassment allegations but recently won a $6 million defamation lawsuit against his accuser. After being dismissed from prestigious institutions, he has now established a new career in the Czech Republic, where he leads research at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. His work focuses on significant biological processes, including cell growth and aging, and he has successfully built a functional research group in Prague and Boston. Sabatini's recent legal victory is seen as a potential shift in public perception within academic circles regarding his past conduct.
