Nowak maintained a close personal and financial relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.[35]
In response to the revelations of Epstein's support of Nowak and his lab (the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics), Nowak was suspended from supervising undergraduate research for two years, and the institute was permanently closed.[36][37] Harvard's review, leading to the suspension, uncovered that Epstein had maintained access to a personal office in Nowak's lab for 9 years, even after his conviction for sex crimes, and used the office over 40 times, "typically accompanied by young women serving as his assistants".[38]
In 2023, Harvard lifted the sanctions against Nowak, and he remains on the faculty, jointly appointed in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology.[39]
In 2026, Nowak was mentioned in the first tranche of documents from the Epstein files. In one exchange, Nowak says "our spy has been captured after completing her mission"; in return, Epstein asked: "did you torture her?"[40]. As of February 1, 2026, there are 4,138 Results in the search for the name Martin Nowak in the Epstein files.[41]
February 3, 2026, there are 4,050 Results in the search for the name Martin Nowak in the Epstein files.
