Gary Boehm

Gary Boehm is a Professor in the Psychology Department within the College of Science & Engineering at Texas Christian University (TCU). His academic appointment reflects active engagement in neuroscience and health psychology research.

His primary research areas focus on Neural-immune interactions, Alzheimer's disease mechanisms, Proinflammatory cytokines, Nutrition and health psychology, and Learning and memory processes. Boehm's work bridges molecular neuroscience with behavioral outcomes, particularly examining how dietary interventions influence neurodegenerative processes and cognitive function.

Recent publication trends reveal a strong emphasis on Alzheimer's disease models, with significant work on Mediterranean diet interventions against cognitive decline (2024), microbiome-diet interactions (2023), and inflammation's role in decision-making (2019). His research consistently employs rodent models to investigate neural-immune crosstalk, with notable contributions to understanding how nutrition modulates neuroinflammation and cognitive outcomes.

Boehm's laboratory collaborates extensively within TCU's neuroscience community, particularly with Dr. Chumley's research group as evidenced by multiple co-authored publications. His work demonstrates consistent funding support for investigations into dietary neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, though specific grant details are not provided in the source material.
