Genomics researcher and former Pepke data scientist, CorEx , and Shirley Pepke with his Correlation Explanation machine learning algorithm (which extracts hidden patterns in large, high-dimensional data sets) may have helped drive Pepke 's ovarian cancer into remission. Pepke and Ver Steeg recently published a preprint of their work with CorEx and are working to confirm the results in a larger population of patients. Based on the Greg Ver Steeg results and data relating to her own tumour, Pepke opted for an as-yet-unapproved immunotherapy drug over a second -in-a-row round of chemo, which may have contributed to the remission of her cancer, as "the disease progression was very consistent with an immunotherapy-type response", she said. Pepke and Shirley Pepke are working to confirm the results in a larger population of patients.
