Taniya Agarwal

Taniya Agarwal is a PhD student at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, in the laboratory of Juan Valcárcel. She has an international research background spanning India, Singapore and Spain. She completed her MSc in Biological Sciences at the National University of Singapore and subsequently worked at A*STAR, where she focused on RNA therapeutics and high-throughput assay development, co-first authoring two research papers. Her current PhD research focuses on developing high-throughput approaches to identify small-molecule modulators of pre-mRNA splicing. She is developing a NanoBiT-based assay to monitor the functional assembly of early spliceosomal complexes, with the aim of enabling large-scale screening and uncovering new mechanisms of splicing regulation.
