The University of Kentucky (UK) Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center is celebrating 30 years of legacy service to the equine community worldwide.

A 30th anniversary research seminar, open house, and celebration dinner will take place Oct. 12. The seminar will begin at 8 a.m. at the Gluck Center and will feature the inaugural Teri Lear Memorial Lecture followed by an open house. Dinner will begin at 6 p.m. in the Woodford Reserve Room at Kroger Field. Stuart Brown, DVM, chair of the Gluck Equine Research Foundation and Hagyard Equine Medical Institute veterinarian, will host the program honoring Peter Timoney, MVB, PhD, FRCVS, Gluck Center professor, for his lifelong contributions to equine infectious disease research.

“I look forward to this milestone 30th anniversary of the Gluck Center and the recognition of the contributions of Dr. Peter Timoney throughout his career,” said Brown. “The Gluck Center is an internationally recognized center of excellence in equine research and discovery for the benefit of the health of horses of all breeds and disciplines.”

The center opened its doors June 5, 1987, with a promise to fulfill Thoroughbred breeder and entrepreneur Maxwell Gluck’s legacy and to continue the research and distinguished service in the Department of Veterinary Science, established in 1915, to the equine industry. Professors in the department were already world-renown for their important contributions to equine reproduction and infectious disease research
