Research and Laboratory Focus

Dr. Bohm’s lab investigates the genetic architecture of neural circuitry, non-electrical neuronal signaling, and epigenetic mechanisms of adaptation. Current projects explore molecular drivers of neurodegeneration and cellular stress. Students working in the lab gain experience with experimental design, molecular techniques, and data interpretation in a supportive, inquiry-driven environment.

Mentorship and Teaching Philosophy

Dr. Bohm believes in fostering academic growth through hands-on research experiences and inclusive classroom practices. Many of his students are recruited from his courses, where he integrates high expectations with personal encouragement. He takes particular pride in mentoring aspiring scientists who are the first in their families to pursue graduate or professional education, guiding them toward medical, doctoral, and research careers.

Lab Alumni Success

Over a dozen of Dr. Bohm’s mentees have advanced to M.D., Ph.D., or other professional programs. These alumni exemplify the lab’s success in developing confident, research-trained students ready for competitive biomedical fields. Photos and profiles of past students will be featured here soon.
