Alex Andrew Bohm, associate professor of developmental, molecular and chemical biology at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS), died August 28. He was 57 years old.
Bohm, who went by Andrew, was a beloved member of the Tufts community not only for his decades of teaching and research, but also for his service to the larger postdoctoral community as Tufts’ postdoctoral officer. From hosting coffee hours to kayaking on the Charles River, he built a community where postdoctoral scholars felt valued, supported, and empowered to thrive both academically and personally.
His family recalled him as “avid reader, cyclist, and sailor, and he loved to build and fix things himself whenever he could.” As news of his unexpected passing spread around Tufts, remembrances were posted to the School of Medicine website from students, colleagues, and other people across Tufts whose lives were positively impacted by Bohm.
