埃里克·阿尔伯特·巴纳德于2018年5月23日去世，享年90岁。在20世纪80年代，埃里克是最早将分子生物学技术应用于神经系统蛋白质研究的研究人员之一，也是分子神经生物学学科的先驱和创始人。正如我们这些和他一起工作的人所说，他出生于1927年7月2日。他有一个非常坚韧的童年后进入科学非标准（时代，2018）。他在伦敦南部的一家孤儿院长大，战争期间被疏散到剑桥。他16岁离开学校，在英国皇家空军服役前，在一家股票经纪公司当信差。他在晚上学习A级课程，并获得了伦敦国王学院的奖学金。在那里，他加入了James Danielli教授的实验室，该实验室以Davson-Danielli细胞膜模型而闻名，并开始了他的博士研究。他的博士研究成果是在《自然》杂志上发表了他的第一篇论文《核蛋白的细胞化学反应》（A cytochemical reaction for nucleoprotein，Barnard and Danielli，1956）。正是在国王，他遇到了他未来的妻子，彭妮轩尼诗。
Eric Albert Barnard died on 23 May 2018 at the age of 90. In the 1980’s, Eric was one of the first researchers to apply molecular biological techniques to the study of proteins of the nervous system and was a pioneer and founding father of the discipline of Molecular Neurobiology.Eric or “Prof.” as those of us who worked with him referred to him, was born on July 2 1927. He had a non-standard entry into science after a very tough childhood (The Times, 2018). He was brought up in an orphanage in South London before being evacuated during the war to Cambridge. He left school at 16 and worked as a messenger boy for a firm of stockbrokers before National Service with the RAF. He studied for his A levels at night and won a scholarship to Kings College London. There he joined the laboratory of Professor James Danielli, famed for the Davson-Danielli model of cell membranes, to undertake his PhD studies. His doctoral work resulted in the publication of his first paper in Nature,“A cytochemical reaction for nucleoprotein”(Barnard and Danielli, 1956). It was at Kings that he met his future wife, Penny Hennessy.
