Dr John McLaren-Howard is cofounder of Biolab Medical Unit, and medical director of Acumen Labs in Devon, England. His premier independent medical laboratory offers testing anchored in the medical and scientific literature that address disturbances in biochemical pathways due to exposure to toxins. Testing newly available from Acumen Labs views active cellular metabolism. It is the first testing available of its kind worldwide with over 100 tests of cell function available answering the questions which have plagued physicians for decades – knowing what toxins their patients have been exposed to and exactly how it impacted their cellular function and health.

In 1984 he established the BioLab Medical Unit then in 2007 opened his own medical laboratory, Acumen Labs, so that he could focus on developing new testing techniques for biomedical investigations for researchers and clinicians. Dr. McLaren-Howard is author or co-author of numerous scientific papers and received the Maberley Medal from the British Society for Ecological Medicine for his outstanding laboratory work in the field of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine.
