Born in Peru and raised in California, Tanya Garcia fondly remembers—as a 4-year-old—craftily fitting together the pieces of jigsaw puzzles. Puzzles took a new shape years later and her enthusiasm for solving mathematical and statistical problems blossomed. Now at UNC Chapel Hill as a tenured associate professor, Garcia works toward predicting precise, personalized, and robust progression profiles for neurodegenerative diseases.
