The University of Kentucky (UK) Gluck Equine Research Foundation will induct three scientists into the UK Equine Research Hall of Fame on Oct. 25 at the Hilary J. Boone Center on the UK campus, in Lexington.

Nominated by their peers and colleagues, Norm Ducharme, DMV, MSc, Dipl. ACVS; Sue Dyson, MA, Vet MB, PhD, DEO, FRCVS; and Susan Stover, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVS, were selected past Hall of Fame inductees for their contributions to equine science and research.

“I am very pleased to honor three outstanding members of the equine research community with their upcoming induction into the UK Equine Research Hall of Fame,” said David Horohov, PhD, chair of the Department of Veterinary Science, director of the Gluck Equine Research Center, and Jes E. and Clementine M. Schlaikjer Endowed Chair. “I am particularly pleased how this year’s nominees’ research programs have focused on athletic performance. Each has made important contributions to equine health and well-being in this area. Their efforts have greatly contributed to our increased awareness and sensitivity to the health and safety needs of these athletes.”

Ducharme, James Law professor of surgery and staff surgeon at Cornell University Hospital for Animals and Cornell Ruffian Equine Specialists, in both New York, has dedicated much of his clinical and research effort to understanding the equine upper airway physiology during exercise. His research has focused on methods of identifying and quantifying dynamic upper airway obstructions, defining the anatomical structures and their function, and developing surgical and other methods for treating equine upper airway diseases. He graduated from veterinary college at the University of Montreal in 1979 and completed his internship and residency at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. He received his Master of Science degree from the University of Guelph and became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) in 1985. Ducharme served as president and chair of the board of the ACVS from 2005 to 2007
