Synopsis: Nimbus Therapeutics CEO Abbas Kazimi walks Alok Tayi through the company's evolving pipeline and playbook for choosing the right risks in a noisy biotech environment. From Werner helicase for MSI-high cancers to a highly selective SIK2 program and GLP-1–adjacent strategies focused on body composition, Abbas details how Nimbus balances rigor, speed, and capital efficiency. He shares candid lessons from pausing and later resurrecting AMPK beta in partnership with Eli Lilly, the decision to remain modality-agnostic but small-molecule-centric, and the importance of knowing when not to chase the latest fad. Throughout, Abbas returns to a consistent theme: success at Nimbus comes from disciplined target selection, deep collaboration, and a culture that empowers teams to make hard calls in service of patients rather than headlines. Biography: Abbas Kazimi is the Chief Executive Officer of Nimbus Therapeutics. Previously, he served as Chief Business Officer, leading the company's strategic and corporate development efforts while overseeing business operations. Since joining Nimbus in 2014, he has helped raise over $630 million in equity financing and led transactions totaling more than $8 billion. Notably, Mr. Kazimi spearheaded the $6 billion sale of Nimbus's TYK2 program to Takeda, the $1.2 billion sale of its NASH (ACC) program to Gilead, and multiple licensing deals exceeding $1.5 billion with partners such as Genentech, Celgene/Roche, and Eli Lilly. Under his leadership, Nimbus has advanced four programs into the clinic, returned over $4 billion to investors, and continues to expand its computational drug discovery and clinical development capabilities. In 2025, Mr. Kazimi joined the board of Unnatural Products (UNP), a biotech company pioneering orally delivered macrocyclic peptides to tackle previously undruggable targets. He also serves on the Editorial Advisory Board for In Vivo magazine, a leading publication offering strategic insights and analysis of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medtech, and consumer health industries. Along with his family, he established the Kazimi Family Endowment for Data Science in Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. This endowment reflects their personal commitment to philanthropy and their vision for revolutionizing cancer treatment through data-driven innovation. At the core of Mr. Kazimi's leadership is a deep sense of purpose—one that seeks to change the trajectory of medical diagnoses where options are limited. The ability to give patients, prescribers, and families a new outlook on life is a powerful responsibility—and one he knows the biopharmaceutical sector has the ability to fulfill. Before Nimbus, he was at Extera Partners, LLC (formerly PureTech Development, LLC), where he provided strategic advisory, supported fundraising, and executed numerous business development transactions. Earlier in his career, he was with JSB-Partners, LP, a specialized investment banking and advisory firm serving biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Mr. Kazimi holds a B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.S. from Harvard University.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Today we're digging into the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. Think LSP for AI: build a small Python service once and your tools and data show up across editors and agents like VS Code, Claude Code, and more. My guest, Den Delimarsky from Microsoft, helps build this space and will keep us honest about what's solid versus what's just shiny. We'll keep it practical: transports that actually work, guardrails you can trust, and a tiny server you could ship this week. By the end, you'll have a clear mental model and a path to plug Python into the internet of agents.

When most data scientists think about their competitive edge, they focus solely on what goes on their resume - education, work experience, and technical skills. But what if the things that truly make you irreplaceable go far deeper than your LinkedIn profile? Your family background, cultural influences, communication quirks, and even the hobbies that make you nerd out all contribute to what makes you uniquely valuable.In this Value Boost episode, Danny Ruspandini joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to explore the concept of your "untouchable advantage" - the unique combination of experiences and qualities that make you impossible to replace as a data scientist.You'll discover:Why your untouchable advantage extends far beyond your technical qualifications [02:09]How family influences and personal quirks become professional superpowers [04:14]Why introverts have unique advantages they often don't recognize [10:36]The simple way to uncover your own untouchable advantage starting tomorrow [14:08]Guest BioDanny Ruspandini is a brand strategist, business coach and director of Impact Labs Australia.

Brian #1: The PSF has withdrawn a $1.5 million proposal to US government grant program Related post from Simon Willison ARS Technica: Python plan to boost software security foiled by Trump admin's anti-DEI rules The Register: Python Foundation goes ride or DEI, rejects government grant with strings attached In Jan 2025, the PSF submitted a proposal for a US NSF grant under the Safety, Security, and Privacy of Open Source Ecosystems program. After months of work by the PSF, the proposal was recommended for funding. If the PSF accepted it, however, they would need to agree to the some terms and conditions, including, affirming that the PSF doesn't support diversity. The restriction wouldn't just be around the security work, but around all activity of the PSF as a whole. And further, that any deemed violation would give the NSF the right to ask for the money back. That just won't work, as the PSF would have already spent the money. The PSF mission statement includes "The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers." The money would have obviously been very valuable, but the restrictions are just too unacceptable. The PSF withdrew the proposal. This couldn't have been an easy decision, that was a lot of money, but I think the PSF did the right thing. Michael #2: A Binary Serializer for Pydantic Models 7× Smaller Than JSON A compact binary serializer for Pydantic models that dramatically reduces RAM usage compared to JSON. The library is designed for high-load systems (e.g., Redis caching), where millions of models are stored in memory and every byte matters. It serializes Pydantic models into a minimal binary format and deserializes them back with zero extra metadata overhead. Target Audience: This project is intended for developers working with: high-load APIs in-memory caches (Redis, Memcached) message queues cost-sensitive environments where object size matters Brian #3: T-strings: Python's Fifth String Formatting Technique? Trey Hunner Python 3.14 has t-strings. How do they fit in with the rest of the string story? History percent-style (%) strings - been around for a very long time string.Template - and t.substitute() - from Python 2.4, but I don't think I've ever used them bracket variables and .format() - Since Python 2.6 f-strings - Python 3.6 - Now I feel old. These still seem new to me t-strings - Python 3.14, but a totally different beast. These don't return strings. Trey then covers a problem with f-strings in that the substitution happens at definition time. t-strings have substitution happen later. this is essentially “lazy string interpolation” This still takes a bit to get your head around, but I appreciate Trey taking a whack at the explanation. Michael #4: Cronboard Cronboard is a terminal application that allows you to manage and schedule cronjobs on local and remote servers. With Cronboard, you can easily add, edit, and delete cronjobs, as well as view their status. ✨ Features ✔️ Check cron jobs ✔️ Create cron jobs with validation and human-readable feedback ✔️ Pause and resume cron jobs ✔️ Edit existing cron jobs ✔️ Delete cron jobs ✔️ View formatted last and next run times ✔️ Accepts special expressions like @daily, @yearly, @monthly, etc. ✔️ Connect to servers using SSH, using password or SSH keys ✔️ Choose another user to manage cron jobs if you have the permissions to do so (sudo) Extras Brian: PEP 810: Explicit lazy imports, has been unanimously accepted by steering council Lean TDD book will be written in the open. TOC, some details, and a 10 page introduction are now available. Hoping for the first pass to be complete by the end of the year. I'd love feedback to help make it a great book, and keep it small-ish, on a very limited budget. Joke: You are so wrong!

Many leaders are trapped between chasing ambitious, ill-defined AI projects and the paralysis of not knowing where to start. Dr. Randall Olson argues that the real opportunity isn't in moonshots, but in the "trillions of dollars of business value" available right now. As co-founder of Wyrd Studios, he bridges the gap between data science, AI engineering, and executive strategy to deliver a practical framework for execution. In this episode, Randy and Hugo lay out how to find and solve what might be considered "boring but valuable" problems, like an EdTech company automating 20% of its support tickets with a simple retrieval bot instead of a complex AI tutor. They discuss how to move incrementally along the "agentic spectrum" and why treating AI evaluation with the same rigor as software engineering is non-negotiable for building a disciplined, high-impact AI strategy. They talk through: How a non-technical leader can prototype a complex insurance claim classifier using just photos and a ChatGPT subscription. The agentic spectrum: Why you should start by automating meeting summaries before attempting to build fully autonomous agents. The practical first step for any executive: Building a personal knowledge base with meeting transcripts and strategy docs to get tailored AI advice. Why treating AI evaluation with the same rigor as unit testing is essential for shipping reliable products. The organizational shift required to unlock long-term AI gains, even if it means a short-term productivity dip.

Every data scientist is running their own business - it's just that most of those businesses are solo operations with one client: their employer. Unfortunately, most data scientists don't realise this and too many fall into the trap of believing their employer will magically take care of their career development, putting them on the right projects and ensuring they get proper training. The reality is that while bosses usually mean well, they have their own careers to worry about.In this episode, Danny Ruspandini joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to explore how applying a solo business mindset to your data science career can help you take control of your professional destiny, increase your value within organisations, and create opportunities that others miss.You'll learn:How to become the go-to person for specific problems within your organisation [07:11]The "secondary sale" technique that gets your projects approved even when you're not in the room [14:49]Why focusing on one shiny object at a time accelerates your career faster than juggling multiple priorities [19:06]How to find your signature service that makes you indispensable to your employer [23:00]Guest BioDanny Ruspandini is a brand strategist, business coach and director of Impact Labs Australia.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: Cyclopts: A CLI library A CLI library that fixes 13 annoying issues in Typer Much of Cyclopts was inspired by the excellent Typer library. Despite its popularity, Typer has some traits that I (and others) find less than ideal. Part of this stems from Typer's age, with its first release in late 2019, soon after Python 3.8's release. Because of this, most of its API was initially designed around assigning proxy default values to function parameters. This made the decorated command functions difficult to use outside of Typer. With the introduction of Annotated in python3.9, type-hints were able to be directly annotated, allowing for the removal of these proxy defaults. The 13: Argument vs Option Positional or Keyword Arguments Choices Default Command Docstring Parsing Decorator Parentheses Optional Lists Keyword Multiple Values Flag Negation Help Defaults Validation Union/Optional Support Adding a Version Flag Documentation Brian #2: The future of Python web services looks GIL-free Giovanni Barillari “Python 3.14 was released at the beginning of the month. This release was particularly interesting to me because of the improvements on the "free-threaded" variant of the interpreter. Specifically, the two major changes when compared to the free-threaded variant of Python 3.13 are: Free-threaded support now reached phase II, meaning it's no longer considered experimental The implementation is now completed, meaning that the workarounds introduced in Python 3.13 to make code sound without the GIL are now gone, and the free-threaded implementation now uses the adaptive interpreter as the GIL enabled variant. These facts, plus additional optimizations make the performance penalty now way better, moving from a 35% penalty to a 5-10% difference.” Lots of benchmark data, both ASGI and WSGI Lots of great thoughts in the “Final Thoughts” section, including “On asynchronous protocols like ASGI, despite the fact the concurrency model doesn't change that much – we shift from one event loop per process, to one event loop per thread – just the fact we no longer need to scale memory allocations just to use more CPU is a massive improvement. ” “… for everybody out there coding a web application in Python: simplifying the concurrency paradigms and the deployment process of such applications is a good thing.” “… to me the future of Python web services looks GIL-free.” Michael #3: Free-threaded GC The free-threaded build of Python uses a different garbage collector implementation than the default GIL-enabled build. The Default GC: In the standard CPython build, every object that supports garbage collection (like lists or dictionaries) is part of a per-interpreter, doubly-linked list. The list pointers are contained in a PyGC_Head structure. The Free-Threaded GC: Takes a different approach. It scraps the PyGC_Head structure and the linked list entirely. Instead, it allocates these objects from a special memory heap managed by the "mimalloc" library. This allows the GC to find and iterate over all collectible objects using mimalloc's data structures, without needing to link them together manually. The free-threaded GC does NOT support "generations” By marking all objects reachable from these known roots, we can identify a large set of objects that are definitely alive and exclude them from the more expensive cycle-finding part of the GC process. Overall speedup of the free-threaded GC collection is between 2 and 12 times faster than the 3.13 version. Brian #4: Polite lazy imports for Python package maintainers Will McGugan commented on a LI post by Bob Belderbos regarding lazy importing “I'm excited about this PEP. I wrote a lazy loading mechanism for Textual's widgets. Without it, the entire widget library would be imported even if you needed just one widget. Having this as a core language feature would make me very happy.” https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/main/src/textual/widgets/__init__.py Well, I was excited about Will's example for how to, essentially, allow users of your package to import only the part they need, when they need it. So I wrote up my thoughts and an explainer for how this works. Special thanks to Trey Hunner's Every dunder method in Python, which I referenced to understand the difference between __getattr__() and __getattribute__(). Extras Brian: Started writing a book on Test Driven Development. Should have an announcement in a week or so.
