Ryan Au is a Volunteer Writer at BioNews. He holds a first-class law degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science and has completed his government-funded postgraduate legal studies at the University of Hong Kong. Ryan is set to commence further postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford, where he intends to pursue his keen interest in medical law (mental health, clinical research, assisted dying, regulation of medicines). Ryan is particularly interested in the complex and symbiotic relationship between law, ethics and medicine; in particular, the role that regulation plays in triangulating these concepts. Ryan's published undergraduate dissertation focused on the ethics and regulatory framework of sports-doping via the lens of the hypothetical application of transcranial direct-current stimulation, a form of neuromodulation, to professional chess.
