The University of Kentucky (UK) Gluck Equine Research Foundation has established the Teri L. Lear Memorial Scholarship Fund. Lear, PhD, was an equine genetics researcher and associate professor at the UK Gluck Equine Research Center. She died May 14 after a long battle with cancer.

Lear became one of the foremost experts in cytogenetics of the horse, published numerous studies on equine genetics, trained MS and PhD students, and was one of the leaders in the Horse Genome Project—a project that resulted in the first map of a horse’s genetic sequence.

Lear loved training graduate students, participating in conferences, and meeting scientists from around the world. The fund will support invited lecturers to the Gluck Center and graduate student travel to scientific conferences.

Gifts to the fund are tax-deductible. Checks, made payable to the University of Kentucky and designated “Teri L. Lear Memorial Scholarship Fund” in the memo, can be mailed to UK Gluck Equine Research Center, Attn: Jenny Evans, 108 Gluck Equine Research Center, Lexington, KY 40546-0099
