Wikipedia doesn't show his age: 

On August 20, 2021, an investigation conducted by an independent law firm concluded that Sabatini violated several of the Whitehead Institute's policies, including policies on sexual harassment. Following the results of this investigation, both the Whitehead Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute ended their association with Sabatini. MIT's Department of Biology placed Sabatini on administrative leave immediately following this announcement.[1]

Mavalvala’s letter said MIT administrators were reviewing the report and Sabatini’s tenure at the university could be revoked.

Dr. David Sabatini, who leads the Sabatini Lab at MIT’s Whitehead Institute, “is no longer associated” with the institute or the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dr. Nergis Mavalvala wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Globe. Mavalvala wrote that the investigator’s report “raises very serious concerns about sexual and workplace harassment.”

Sabatini has been a biology professor at MIT since 2008 and was elected a Whitehead Fellow in 1997, according to an MIT News article that featured Sabatini and three other MIT professors elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2016. He is also a member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer and a Senior Associate Member with the Broad Institute, according to the Sabatini Lab’s website.

In December 2020, Sabatini received the Nemmers Prize in Medical Science at Northwestern University, which is given to a “physician-scientist whose body of research exhibits outstanding achievement in their discipline as demonstrated by works of lasting significance,” according to an article on Northwestern’s website announcing the award.

Sabatini is co-founder of KSQ Therapeutics, a biotech start-up in Cambridge that opened in 2015, and Raze Therapeutics.
