To that end, she’s built a 6.04% stake in Repare Therapeutics Inc – a Canadian clinical-stage precision oncology company over the past seven trading days. Wood has invested a total of $32.5 million in RPTX.

Repare Therapeutics is expected to report its Q4 earnings early next month. Consensus is for it to lose 73 cents a share, only slightly worse than the same quarter last year. The stock is currently down 7.0% for the year.
